On Raglan Road on an autumn day
  C       F         C
I saw her first and knew
     F                   C
That her dark hair would weave a snare,
             Am      G
that I might one day  rue
  F              C
I saw the danger and I passed,
             Am       G
along the en--chanted way,
      C                            F
and I said, Let grief, be a fallen leaf
       C       F      C
at the dawning of the day'

On Grafton Street in November,
           C        F        C
we tripped lightly along the ledge
     F                  C
Of a deep ravine, where can be seen,
                  Am        G
the true worth of passion's pledge
    F                      C
The Queen of Hearts, still making tarts,
          Am     G
and I not making hay
      C
Oh, I loved too much and by such,
   F        C         F       C
by such, is happiness thrown away
 
  C                     F
I gave her gifts of the mind I,
     C       F      C
gave her the secret signs
       F                    C
That's known to the artists who have known,
                 Am        G
the true gods of sound and stone
        F                   C
And the word and tint, with--out stint,
           Am       G
I gave her poems to say
         C                                F
With her own name there, and her own dark hair,
     C           F         C
like clouds over fields of May
 
     C                              F
On a quiet street, where old ghosts meet,
  C       F       C
I see her walking now
  F               C
A--way from me so hurriedly,
          Am      G
my reason must al--low
     F                C
That I had loved, not as I should,
           Am      G
a creature made of clay
         C                         F
When the angel woos, the clay he'd lose
    C            F       C
his wings at the dawn of day

(Slowing Down)
         C                         F
When the angel woos, the clay he'd lose
    C            F       C
his wings at the dawn of day
