World of Good - The Saw Doctors

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 sìog 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

Through the Screaming of your childhood

In a land that’s torn apart

And the chilling cold of violent deeds

Somehow strengthens your warm heart

Your gentle firm and peaceful ways

Have long since well withstood… the darkness in this country

I only wish for you the world of good

Oh I love you girl and I always will

You know you’re part of my life still

Though times have changed … it’s understood

I wish for you the World of Good … the World of Good
