《Raglan Road》歌词

[00:00:00] Raglan Road - The Chieftains

[00:00:00] Written by：Traditional/P. Kavanagh

[00:00:00] On raglan road on an autumn day I met her first and knew

[00:00:20] That her dark hair would weave a snare that I might one day rue

[00:00:40] I saw the danger yet I walked along the enchanted way

[00:00:59] And I said let grief be a fallen leaf at the dawning of the day

[00:01:21] On Grafton street in November we tripped lightly along the ledge

[00:01:40] Of the deep ravine where can be seen the worth of passion's pledge

[00:02:00] The queen of hearts still making tarts and I not making hay

[00:02:21] Oh I loved too much and by such and such is happiness thrown away

[00:02:46] I gave her gifts of the mind I gave her the secret sign that's known

[00:03:06] To the artists who have known the true gods of sound and stone

[00:03:25] And word and tint I did not stint I gave her poems to say

[00:03:46] With her own name there and her dark hair like clouds over fields of may

[00:04:42] On a quiet street where old ghosts meet I see her walking now

[00:05:01] Away from me so hurriedly my reason must allow

[00:05:21] That I had wooed not as I should a creature made of clay

[00:05:42] When the angel woos the clay he'd lose his wings at the dawn of day
