Dónall Dempsey - WHY MUST MY POOR HEART KEEP FOLLOWING YOU? (for my brother Brian)

2014-11-08 3

My Dad is
breaking my heart

playing
“Liverpool Lou”

on a little itty bitty
harmonica.

I no longer know
what age I am

travelling down
to Cork on a train.

Just a magical
time of being!

My Dad is
breaking my heart

with the beauty of his playing

the beauty
of his being.

Dónall Dempsey
