Testo Raglan Road - North Sea Gas
Testo della canzone Raglan Road (North Sea Gas), tratta dall'album Lochanside
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 passed
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 a deep ravine, where can be seen
Through earth, a passion's pledge
The queen of hearts, still baking tarts
And I not making hay
Oh, I loved too much, and by such and such
Is happiness thrown away
I gave her gifts of the mind
I gave her the sacred sign
That's known to artists who have seen
Through gods of sound and stone
Her words intent there without 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 reasons must allow
That I have loved not as I should
A creature made of clay
When the angel woos the clay, he'll lose
