billy bragg - raglan road lyrics
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 p-ssions 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.”
