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 blondeBy 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 yearAnd in the evening shade he climbs upon the sun
Getting it's glow
He goes on
Singing this songTo 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 milesTo 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
