lirik lagu luke kelly - on 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 might one day rue;
i saw the danger, yet i p-ssed 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 the deep ravine where can be seen the worth of p-ssion’s pledge,
the queen of hearts still making tarts and i not making hay
oh i loved too much and by such by such is happiness thrown away.
i gave her gifts of the mind i gave her the secret sign that’s known
to the artists who have known the true gods of sound and stone
and word and tint without stint for 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 reason must allow
that i had loved not as i should a creature made of clay
when the angel woos the clay he’d lose his wings at the dawn of day.
