A friend that you can trust in   Mid-summer's burning sky   Understanding of a druid   And the innocence of child   Memories of snowflakes   And of those who understood you   Well they're all gone now   I only wish for you the world of good      Oh, all your precious photographs   And all your favorite dreams   When the years have gone behind you   The chance to be nineteen   And children in your likeness of the same inspiring blood   And a man who makes you happy   I only wish for you a world of good      Oh, 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         And a box of sìog hand-me-downs   That follows you around   An England road that leads you to   Another stronghold town   And I know you'd take me with you   If you really thought you should   But if you up and go alone   I'll wish for you the world of good      Oh, the sky at night and the open sea   A clear, refreshing mountain stream   Tír na nÓg and Robin Hood   I wish for you the world of good         Through the screaming of your childhood   In a land that's been 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, the sky at night and the open sea   A clear, refreshing mountain stream   Tír na nÓg and Robin Hood   I 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
