The Friendly Ranger At Clontarf Castle - Lyrics by Thin Lizzy


Lyrics
The friendly ranger paused
And scooping a bowl of beans
Spreading them like stars
Falling like justice on different scenes
I'm damned
Indeed, comrade
I'm being bombed
And all the people's faces turned strawberry blonde
By the morning gate the friendly ranger waits
For the sun making sure it's not late
Just in time no need to fear well, just in case
And all the people are happy for another year
And in the evening shade he climbs upon the sun
Getting it's glow
He goes on
Singing this song
To feel the goodness glowing inside
To walk down a street with my arms about your hips, side by side
To play with a sad eyed child till he smiles
To look at a starry sky at night, realize the miles
To see the sun set behind the steeple
Clontarf castle, no king, queen or knightly people
A coal fire and it's pouring rain
To wave goodbye to a very good friend, never meet again
Little thoughts bring little memories of you to me
