Remembering Luke Kelly today on the anniversary of his passing.
This was Luke Kelly's last performance. His voice and memory had deteriorated but he belted out this song with as much heart as possible. The opening & closing verse: "I must away now, I can no longer tarry, This morning's tempest I have to cross, I must be guided without a stumble, Into the arms I love the most"..
If you listen carefully as the last note dies out, you'll hear Ronnie Drew softly say..."Good man Luke".
