lirik lagu cyril cusack - broken dreams
there is grey in your hair
young men no longer suddenly catch their breath
when you are passing;
but maybe some old gaffer mutters a blessing
because it was your prayer
recovered him upon the bed of death
for your sole sake — that all heart’s ache have known
and given to others all heart’s ache
from meagre girlhood’s putting on
burdensome beauty — for your sole sake
heaven has put away the stroke of her doom
so great her portion in that peace you make
by merely walking in a room
your beauty can but leave among us
vague memories, nothing but memories
a young man when the old men are done talking
will say to an old man, “tell me of that lady
the poet stubborn with his passion sang us
when age might well have chilled his blood.’
vague memories, nothing but memories
but in the grave all, all, shall be renewed
the certainty that i shall see that lady
leaning or standing or walking
in the first loveliness of womanhood
and with the fervour of my youthful eyes
has set me muttering like a fool
you are more beautiful than any one
and yet your body had a flaw:
your small hands were not beautiful
and i am afraid that you will run
and paddle to the wrist
in that mysterious, always brimming lake
where those what have obeyed the holy law
paddle and are perfect. leave unchanged
the hands that i have kissed
for old sake’s sake
the last stroke of midnight dies
all day in the one chair
from dream to dream and rhyme to rhyme i have
ranged
in rambling talk with an image of air:
vague memories, nothing but memories
