dervish - on raglan road lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
on raglan road, on an autumn day i saw her first and knew
that her dark hair would weave a snare that i might some day rue
i saw the danger, yet i p-ssed along the enchanted way
and i said, “let grief be a fallen leaf at the dawning of the day”
and i said, “let grief be a fallen leaf at the dawning of the day”

[verse 2]
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 loved too much, and by such, by such is happiness thrown away

[verse 3]
i gave her gifts of the mind, i gave her the secret sign
that’s a-known to artists who have known true gods of sound and stone
and word and tint without stint for i gave her poems to say
with her own name there and her own dark hair
like clouds o’er fields of may

[verse 4]
on a quiet street, where old ghosts meet, i see her walking now
away from me so hurriedly, my reason must allow
that i have 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
