John Edmond Keep The Flame Lily Burning Lyrics

It's been such a good get together
We hoisted the Green and White
Lived in the past, and had a few laughs
With Chibulies right into the night
We toasted our friends that were absent
And wondered were some of them are?
But one thing we know we know for certain
The old days will live their hearts

So keep the Flame lily burning
Burning deep in your heart
Keep the flame lily burning
Though it's time we must part
But wheel of friendship keeps turning
Around and l know we'll meet again
So keep the flame lily burning
Deep in your heart until then

Paddy has gone to island
And Taffy's in Cardiff they say
And Jock's come to rest in old Inverness
And Chuck is in the US of A
And Bruce has gone to Australia
And Dino is living in Rome
But in from Matusodana
When nowhere in just stayed at home

So keep the Flame lily burning
Burning deep in your heart
Keep the flame lily burning
Though it's time we must part
The wheel of friendship keeps turning
Around and l know that we'll meet again
So keep the flame lily burning
Deep in your heart until then

And now as the light goes down
And tears fills the eyes
The drifters drift and stayers stay
It's so long but never goodbye

So keep the Flame lily burning
Burning deep in your heart
Keep the flame lily burning
Though it's time we must part
The wheel of friendship keeps turning
Around and l know that we'll meet again
So keep the flame lily burning
Deep in your heart until then
