the Anna Liffey, possibly from an anglicisation of Abhainn na Life, the Irish phrase that translates into English as "River Liffey". James Joyce embodies in Finnegans Wake as "Anna Livia Plurabelle". (lemm.ee)

🎸🎸🎸 There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps... Running before time took our dreams away... Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground 🎸 (youtube.com)

🎸 There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
