Lyrics:
(Patrick Kavanagh) Performed at some concerts during her tour in 1995 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 walked 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 a deep ravine where can be seen The worth of passions pledge. The Queen of Hearts still making tarts And I not making hay. Oh, I loved too much by such, by such Is happiness blown 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 I did not stint For I gave her poems to say. With her own name there and her 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 ruled, not as I should. A creature made of clay. When the angel woos the clay, He'll lose his wings at the dawn of day.
