Little Connections

The picture of comfort, walking easily to the door
as if everything was normal, no lights and noise
What it boils down to is that you like Irish bands
U2, Pogues, Flogging Molly, the Cranberries

When the "party is over and bells are ringing themselves"
your newly grey hair brushing a waking daughter
before the long dark of a day job behind the telephone
A long train running out of 1967; the lilt is all you want
