Thin Lizzy was an Irish proto-heavy metal hard rockband formed in 1969, originally as a trio with Eric Bell on guitar and which split in 1983 largely as a consequence of financial trouble and drug excesses. Probably its most famous lineup was that of singer and bassist Phil Lynott, Brian Downeyon drums and Scott Gorhamand Brian Robertsonon lead guitars, while later line-ups featured guitar heroes like Gary Moore( Black Rose), John Sykes( Thunder and Lightning) and Snowy White( Renegade, Chinatown). They are now recognised as one of the pioneers of the dual lead guitar harmony. The band was at its peak during the mid to late 70s, especially following the release of Jailbreakwhich contained their most recognisable track today, "The Boys Are Back In Town". They were particularly famed for their live performances, Lynott's obvious rapport with the fans being a key feature.

A Song For While I’m Away Lyrics
Thin Lizzy
These words I wrote, play and sing to you
Do not convey the love I brought and bring to you
For this is a song for while Im away
To say all the things Id love to say
You are my life, my everything, youre all I have
You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true
Youre all I have
Please heed me now these words I have to say
Now Im headed for the border
You see this song it ends right at the start
I swore when I was younger
No one would win my heart
And far away hills look greener still
But soon theyll all slip away
Its then Ill be returning
And Ill be coming home to stay
You are my life, my everything, youre all I have
You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true
Youre all I have
Please heed me now these words I have to say
