GLEN IS GONE

They say he left in a breeze

By Strawberry Fields

In his Dublin city.

From the North, South, East

And West they know his name.

Say it now, Glen!

Sing his songs out!

Let your feelings reach

His soul because

He’s not gone,

That voice, that rasp,

Those lyrics, that music is playing.

Listen!

The journey isn't over

‘Strawberry Fields’ is in reference to the song ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’ by The Beatles rather than the location Strawberry Beds in Lucan Dublin where Glen sadly passed.
