raglan road (live) - chieftains lyrics

Loading...

on raglan road on an autumn day i met her first and knew
that her dark hair would weave a snare that i might one day rue;
i saw the danger, yet i walked along the enchanted way,
and i said, let grief be a fallen leaf at the dawning of the day.

on grafton street in november we tripped lightly along the ledge
of the deep ravine where can be seen the worth of p-ssion’s pledge (play),
the queen of hearts still making tarts and i not making hay –
o i loved too much and by such and such is happiness thrown away.

i gave her gifts of the mind i gave her the secret sign that’s known
to [the] artists who have known the true gods of sound and stone
and word and tint. i did not stint [for] i gave her poems to say.
with her own name there and her [own] (long) dark hair like clouds over fields of may

on a quiet street where old ghosts meet i see her walking now
away from me so hurriedly my reason must allow
that i [had wooed] (have loved) not as i should a creature made of clay –
when the angel woos the clay he’d lose his wings at the dawn of day.
