On Raglan Road

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Traditional Arrangement by:- D. Lunny/Traditional Arrangement by:- S O'Connor/Traditional Arrangement by:- P. Kavanagh [00:00.22]^.^For my gorgeous sweetie [00:01.48] [00:02.56]On Raglan Road on an Autumn Day, [00:11.36]I saw her first and knew [00:19.05]That her dark hair would weave a snare [00:28.09]That I may one day rue. [00:35.11]I saw the danger, yet I walked [00:44.04]Along the enchanted way [00:50.15]And I said let grief be a falling leaf [00:58.02]At the dawning of the day. [01:07.26]On Grafton Street in November, [01:14.38]We tripped lightly along the ledge [01:22.39]Of a deep ravine where can be seen [01:29.52]The worst of passions pledged. [01:36.05]The Queen of Hearts still baking tarts [01:42.96]And I not making hay, [01:49.23]Well I loved too much and by such and such [01:57.31]Is happiness thrown away. [02:05.30]I gave her the gifts of the mind. [02:11.85]I gave her the secret sign [02:21.04]That's known to all the artists who have know [02:28.03]The true Gods of Sound and the stone. [02:35.20]And word and tint without stint. [02:42.21]I gave her reams of poems to say [02:49.08]With her own dark hair and her own name there [02:57.67]Like the clouds over fields of May. [03:06.58]On a quiet street where old ghosts meet, [03:13.55]I see her walking now [03:20.65]Away from me so hurriedly. My reason must allow, [03:35.76]Let I have wooed, not as I should [03:43.57]A creature made of clay. [03:49.74]When the angel woos the clay, he'll lose [03:58.27]His wings at the dawn of the day.
