Testo On Raglan Road - Patrick Kavanagh
Testo della canzone On Raglan Road (Patrick Kavanagh), tratta dall'album Almost Everything...
On Raglan Road, on an autumn day
I saw her first and knew
That her dark hair would weave a snare
That I may one day rue
I saw the danger, yet I walked
Along the enchanted way
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 a deep ravine, where can be seen
The worst of passions pledged
The Queen of Hearts, still baking tarts
And I not making hay
Well, I loved too much, by such and such
Is happiness thrown away
I gave her the gifts of the mind
I gave her the secret sign
That's known to all the artists who have known
True gods of sound and time
With word and tint, I did not stint
I gave her reams of poems to say
With her own dark hair, and her own name there
Like the clouds o'er the 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
For I have wooed, not as I should
A creature made of clay
When the angel woos the clay he'll lose
His wings at the dawn of the day
