Raglan road +lyrics

here gerry doing raglan road,are great irish classic.On Raglan Road of an Autumn dayI saw her first and knew,That her dark hair would weave a snareThat I might someday rue.I saw the danger and I passedAlong the enchanted way.And I said,"Let grief be a fallen leafAt the dawning of the day."On Grafton Street in November, weTripped lightly along the ledgeOf a deep ravine where can be seenThe worth of passion play.The Queen of Hearts still making tartsAnd I not making hay;Oh, I loved too much and by such and suchIs happiness thrown away.I gave her gifts of the mind,I gave her the secret signs,That's known to the artists who have knownThe true gods of sound and stone.And her words and tint without stintI gave her poems to sayWith her own name there and her own dark hairLike clouds over fields of May.On a quiet street where old ghosts meetI see her walking now,And away from me so hurriedlyMy reason must allow.That I had loved, not as I shouldA creature made of clay,When the angel woos the clay, he'll loseHis wings at the dawn of day.
