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

[Chorus:]

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

[Chorus]

I stand alone in the distance

And the foreground slowly moves

[Chorus]

"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"

[Chorus]

When there's nothing on the horizon

You've got nothing left to prove

If I lead will you follow?
