Unceasing Mystery

The unceasing mystery of Darragh Connolly 
He’s like a balloon that floats in my mind
And I never told him I didn’t leave him behind
With my 2.0
And places that I shouldn’t go
And he doesn’t know
That I still hold him dear
So I want to make it crystal clear
When I’m wise and famous
The seasons rise and it changes us
Into something new
You must know I’ll never replace you
In my glass button dreams
Sewing them onto my coat seam
Like a dressmaker of many colours
Dancing in the light of all the others
And Isabelle asked the question and I almost replied
Then I was mortified
And I almost died
Over there in Liverpool
And we were all just so fucking cool
In our Batch One hats
More than a product line and all of that
And I peace sign and I was gorgeous and free
Now I’m old and tired and my dignity
Has taken a battering
And the mad hattering
Almost led me down a fevered alley
So far from Balally
Near Dundrum
And I succumb
To the pressure
And let them mark the fissure
And see where I crack
And I know I can’t get that perfect back
But I found something better
A kind of freedom from the weather
That just pours on me
I close my eyes and let it be
