Artist:Van Morrison
Album:Irish Heartbeat
Song:Raglan Road

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.

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 over 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.
