jim mccann - raglan road lyrics

Loading...

on raglan road on an autumn day
i saw her first and knew
that her dark hair would weave a snare
that i might someday rue
i saw the danger
yet i walked
along the enchanted way
and i 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 the 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 and such
is hapiness 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,
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 wooed not as i should
a creature made of clay
when the angel woos the clay he’d lose
his wings at the dawning of the day.
