Lyrics Daddy's Riding The Range - The Stranglers

Oh my child
Walk in your prairie dreams
Shining dawn
Whispers of worlds you'll see
Now it's dusk
Darkness has killed the fire
I must ride
She calls me into my night
And you're leaving me cold as ice (times 2)

Daddy's riding the range
In the toy cowboy suit
That his mother bought for him
Leaving, he won't stop loving you
Now that he's riding
The trail of the lone star

When you cry
I'll send the sun down to you
When you're lost
I'll spin the world round for you
