blackthorn - raglan road lyrics
on raglan road of 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 and i p-ssed
along the enchanted way
and 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-ssion’s pledge
the queen of hearts still making tarts
and i not making hay
oh i loved too much and by such by such
is happiness thrown away
i gave her gifts of the mind
i gave her the secret signs
known to the artists who have known
the true gods of sound and stone
and word and tint i did not stint
i gave her poems to say
with her own name there
and her own 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 loved 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
