dubliners - 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 p-ssed
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 pledged
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 sign
that’s known to the artists who have known
the true gods of sound and stone
and word and tint i did not stint
for 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 dawn of day
