Tilly and the Postmaster

We laid him down into the ground surrounded by close family
I wasn't there, but in a chair, watching it on a screen
I know he'd laugh at the thought of that after the close life we shared
14 kids, 13 lived and Gerard who you're with now somewhere

Tilly and The Postmaster

A mother to old, a mother to young, a mother's work is never done
A mother you will find will nurture and mind, my mother I never knew mine
A Tipperary Star, he stole my heart, a rebel and a king of sport
Well-read and distinct, fond of a drink, he gave it up when I needed him most

Tilly and The Postmaster

An open door will see you soar through loving and through life
Treat all the same, we're all but a name - that there is my only advice
I lived my life through my kids and through them I'll never die
Strong enough now for long enough, is that something in your eye
