A Wave From Jimmy Sullivan

A wave from Jimmy Sullivan in Millstreet far away A nice and spontaneous gesture that did help to make my day From Clara road one must presume in view of Clara hill It brought back the old memories as if time had stood still. When we played Soccer and Gaelic football some twenty years ago Though our old legs ageing back then nowadays are far more slow But Jimmy looking fit and well despite the march of time He was a quick and elusive player when he was in his prime. One of those lucky people who has a sense of place In Millstreet Town and Parish his is a well known face He never will leave Millstreet in Millstreet he will stay And in his beloved Town of Millstreet he will grow old and gray. From life i do feel hardened and i feel too old for tears But that wave from Jimmy Sullivan it took me back the years To when we were young and fitter and we chased the ball around In the Inch field at Claraghatlea back then our football ground.
