DROPKICK MURPHYS LYRICS

"Last Letter Home"

Hello there my dearest love
Today I write to you about our sons
The boys start school today
They′re the spitting image of you in every way

Hey son it's Dad
I hope this letter finds you well out of harm′s way
We saw the news today it frightened your Mom
Now all she does is pray

If I lead will you follow?
Will you follow if I lead?

Hey Melissa it's me don't be afraid
I′m in good hands I′m gonna be home soon
It's time to watch the children grow up
I wanna be more than a voice on the phone

Thanks Ma I got your package today
I love "The Fields Of Athenry"
I swear I want ′em to play that song on the pipes
At my funeral when I die

I stand alone in the distance
And the foreground slowly moves

"We regret to inform you that on January 28th Sgt. Andrew
Farrar died while serving his country in the Al-Anbar province
Of Iraq words cannot convey our sorrow"

When there's nothing on the horizon
You′ve got nothing left to prove

If I lead will you follow?
