D G
On Raglan Road on an autumn day,
D G D
I saw her first and knew
G D
That her dark hair would weave a snare,
Bm A
that I might one day rue
G D
I saw the danger and I passed,
Bm A
along the enchanted way,
D G
and I said: 'Let grief, be a fallen leaf
D G D
at the dawning of the day'
D G
On Grafton Street in November,
D G D
we tripped lightly along the ledge
G D
Of a deep ravine, where can be seen,
Bm A
the worth of passion's pledge
G D
The Queen of Hearts, still making tarts,
Bm A
and I not making hay
D
Oh, I loved too much and by such,
G D G D
by such, is happiness thrown away
D G
I gave her gifts of the mind,
D G D
I gave her the secret signs
G D
That's known to the artists who have known,
Bm A
the true gods of sound and stone
G D
And word and tint, without stint,
Bm A
I gave her poems to say
D G
With her own name there, and her own dark hair,
D G D
like clouds over fields of May
D G
On a quiet street, where old ghosts meet,
D G D
I see her walking now
G D
Away from me so hurriedly,
Bm A
my reason must allow
G D
That I had loved, not as I should,
Bm A
a creature made of clay
D
When the angel woos the clay,
G D G D
he'd lose, his wings at the dawn of day
