    Just a quick reminder that Luke Kelly's death anniversary occurs today 30/01/84.

    25 years gone without this absolute legend

    Luke - A Tribute

    2844387619a5204067258l.jpg

    The years have passed, the time has flown, since first I saw you there,
    With feet apart to the music moved, your bright red curling hair.
    The spotlight shone in colors bright, reflecting on your face,
    The music notes, so sweet and clear, the spirit of your race.

    Your songs told tales of peace and joy, of sorrow and of love,
    The power and passion of your voice, soared heavenly above.
    And from the inner soul there came emotion in each song,
    You stirred the hearts of many, Luke, when you sang of right and wrong.

    The humor of those laughing eyes, was shared in full with all
    When you choose a song to lift the hearts that filled the music hall.
    The ecstasy and joy was felt in chorus, clap and cheer,
    When the Son of Rosin took the stage, the King of Balladeers.

    I saw you sing a thousand times, ten thousand songs or more,
    I still can an clearly hear your voice, though your time with us is o'er.
    Fond memories are all we have, when we think of you today,
    Your name, we'll always honour Luke, we’re glad ya passed this way.
