on raglan road - sinead o'connor lyrics

Loading...

on raglan road on an autumn day
i saw 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 en chanted 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 a deep ravine where can be seen
the worth of p-ssions pledge.
the queen of hearts still making tarts
and i not making hay.
oh, i loved too much by such, by such
is happiness blown 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 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 ruled, not as i should.
a creature made of clay.
when the angel woos the clay,
he’ll lose his wings at the dawn of day.
