Raglan Road-The Dubliners

[ti:Raglan Road] [ar:The Dubliners] [al:Pure Irish Love Songs] [offset:0] [00:02.86]On Raglan Road of an autumn day [00:12.25]I saw her first and knew [00:18.79] [00:19.67]That her dark hair would weave a snare [00:28.85]That I might one day rue [00:35.98]I saw the danger and I passed [00:44.17]Along the enchanted way [00:51.11]And said let grief be a fallen leaf [00:58.55]At the dawning of the day [01:06.74] [01:07.68]On Grafton Street in November [01:14.86]We tripped lightly along the ledge [01:22.61]Of a deep ravine where can be seen [01:30.05]The worth of passion's pledge [01:36.43]The Queen of Hearts still making tarts [01:43.18]And I not making hay [01:49.93]Oh I loved too much and by such by such [01:57.93]Is happiness thrown away [02:06.43]I gave her gifts of the mind [02:12.18]I gave her the secret signs [02:21.30]Known to the artists who have known [02:28.68]The true gods of sound and stone [02:35.62]And word and tint I did not stint [02:42.74]I gave her poems to say [02:49.43]With her own name there [02:53.49]And her own dark hair [02:57.93]Like clouds over fields of May [03:06.18] [03:06.99]On a quiet street where old ghosts meet [03:13.93]I see her walking now [03:21.75]Away from me so hurriedly my reason must allow [03:36.20]That I had loved not as I should [03:43.96]A creature made of clay [03:50.08]When the angel woos the clay [03:56.52]He'll lose his wings at the dawn of day
