Raglan Road Lyrics - Irish Heartbeat - Van Morrison

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 

And I said,? Let grief be a falling leaf 

At the dawning of the day? 

I said, on Grafton Street in November 

We tripped lightly along the ledge 

Of a deep ravine where can be seen 

The worst of passions pledged

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

The 'Queen of Hearts' still baking tarts 

And I, and I, and I, and I not making hay 

Well, I loved too much by such and such 

Is happiness thrown away, alright 

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 never did not stint 

I gave her reams of, reams of poems to say 

With her own name there and her shiny black hair 

Like the clouds over fields of May 

On a quiet street where old ghosts meet 

I see, I see her walking now 

Away from me, away from me so hurriedly 

My reason, my reason, my reason, 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, alright
