Silent bricks the stones are mute
Their stories sealed within
Eternal mortar whose tales unknown
And never told again

Within each human step
And worn out shoes and broken hearts
Find solace and repent

Burst forth in songs of old
The terrace banter heals the pain
And warms a love grown cold

Rushie Kenny God
I’d call to Heighway on the wing
And spread the ball to Tosh

His faithful knights so bold
In Red they wore defences down
Like mighty oceans rolled

Paisley smiles says fewer words
His deeds an epic tale
With him the Reds of Liverpool
Forged glory never failed

Fagan but a humble man
A legend for the ‘pool
His accent warm and generous
Like us from the same soil

Oakfield Road and Walton Breck
Then down to Kilshaw where
The people loved rest in their peace
We’ll join them one day there.
