A friend that you can trust in
any midsummer's burning sky
understanding of a druid
And the innocence of a child
Memories of snowflakes
And of those who understood you
There're all gone now
I only wish for you the world of good
All your precious photographs
and all your favorite dreams
When the years have gone behind you
That chance to be nineteen
Children in your likeness
Of the same inspiring blood
And a man who makes you happy
I only wish for you the world of good
The sky at night and the open sea
A clear refreshing mountain stream
Tir-na-nog and Robin Hood
I wish for you the world of good,
A box of stog hand- me-downs
That follow you around
A winding road that leads you to
Another stronghold town
I know you'd take me with you
If you really thought you should
But if you up and go alone
I wish for you a world of good

Oh it's like a storm at sea,
And everything is lost
And, the fretful sailors
Calling out their woes,
As to the waves they're tossed.
Oh, they are all gentlemen,
And never will they know
If there is a reason each of them
Must go,
To join the cruel flow.
And it'll take a long long time
It'll take a long long time
It'll take a long long time,
Oh it'll take such a long long time.
There is no need for rules,
There's no one to score the game
And there is no body
Living in this town
As even knows its name.
And it'll take a long long time
It'll take a long long time
It'll take a long long time,
Long long time.
