THE FRIENDLY RANGER AT CLONTARF CASTLE

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 its 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
And realise the miles
To see the sun set
Behind the steeple
Clontarf Castle no King or Queen
Or knightly people
A coal fire and it's pouring rain
To wave goodbye To a very good friend
And never meet again
Little thoughts,Bring, Little memories
Of you To me
