Lizzy Thin - The Friendly Ranger At Clontarf Castle 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 the 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 sunset 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
