Raglan Road (Live)

歌詞

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 enchanted way And I said, "Let grief be a falling 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 passions pledge The queen of hearts still making tarts and I not making hay And I loved too much by such and such is happiness thrown away I gave her the gifts of the mind I gave her the secret sign That's known to all the artists who have known true gods of sound and time With word and tint I never did stint I gave him reams of poems to say With her own name there and hlong dark hair like the clouds over fields of may On a quiet street where old ghosts meet I see him walking now Away from me so hurriedly my reason must allow That I had wooed 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 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 enchanted way And I said, "Let grief be a falling leaf at the dawning of the day."
