chris bathgate - 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 one day might 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 passion’s pledge
the queen of hearts still making tarts, and i not making hay
oh, 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 all the artists who
have known gods of sound and stone
with word and tint, i did not stint
gave her reams of poems to say
with her own dark hair and her own name there
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’d loose his wings at the dawn of day
