Luke Kelly’s Land listen:[ mp3 ] [ asf ]audio clips coming soon

Chorus
It’s a long lonely road that has no turning,
And a sad stream that never sees the sea,
But let the truth be known that a great unrest has grown
In the green land Luke Kelly left to me.

-1-
The young one they are leaving Luke and there’s none can bid them stay
They’re saying there is more to life than this
In the ignorance of man they don’t need the bombs to ban
When Love can be destruction’s Judas kiss

-2-
We sing the songs of warning Luke as computers prattle on,
Empty echoes on the Raglan Road,
‘Tis a famine of the mind
That has always plagued our kind
When strangers reap the harvest we have sowed.

-3-
It’s you and me again we’ve seen it all before
The foreign fields once more have turned to green,
And with nothing but a song to face every right and wrong
But I can only dream what might have been

Chorus
