Thin Lizzy - The Friendly Ranger At Clontarf Castle lyrics

rate me

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
