Farrar's final letter home included a request that the song Fields Of Athenry from the album '' Blackout '' be played at his funeral, should anything happen to him. The band recorded a stripped down version of the song and presented it to Farrar's family. A copy of the CD was placed in Farrar's casket with him. The band's bagpiper Scruffy Wallace also played the song as Farrar's coffin was carried into the church. "Last Letter Home" was released by the Dropkick Murphys on the album '' The Warrior's Code ''. LYRICS 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 {Link without Title} 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 {Link without Title} I stand alone in the distance And the foreground slowly moves {Link without Title} "We regret to inform you that on January 28 Sgt. Andrew Farrar died while serving his country in the Al-Anbar province of Iraq. Words cannot convey our sorrow." {Link without Title} When there's nothing on the horizon You've got nothing left to prove If I lead will you follow? |
