Hills of Killedmond

from Rituals by Pat Byrne

/

about

This song is a love letter to home. I had a wonderful Childhood, in Borris Co. Carlow, Ireland. Killedmond is a small towns-land on the side of Mt. Leinster. It's a really beautiful place.

lyrics

Drink from the cool red river, tie back your hair
Jump up from behind the tall grass, give me a scare

Always on my mind
Pictures from the mountain side
Rolling through the Hills of Killedmond

Do you remember when we built that little treehouse without hammers or nails?
And as soon as the heavens opened, the little treehouse failed.

Always on my mind
Memories from the mountain side
Rolling through the Hills of Killedmond

It took me a while
But now I can see
That the people around
Made a difference in me
You gave me life
And you watched me grow
You taught me the things
I needed to know
Now I'm sailing away
Away to be free
But the place where I'm from
Still lives within me
I just needed some time
To be by myself
To stop following dreams
Meant for somebody else
When this hard life
Starts to take its toll
Then I know the place
Where I wanna grow old
When I find the one
To have and to hold
When I'm settling down
I wanna go home

To the HIls of Killedmond
