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 passed 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 the deep ravine where can be seen
the worth of passion's pledge,
The Queen of Hearts still making tarts
and I not making hay
Oh I loved too much and by such by
such is happiness thrown 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 without stint for
I gave her poems to say.
With her own name there
and her own 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 loved not as I should
a creature made of clay
When the angel woos the clay
he'd lose his wings at the dawn of day.

We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won
As we sailed into the mystic
Hark now, hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly
Into the mystic
Yeah, when that fog horn blows
I will be coming home
Yeah, when that fog horn whistle blows
I wanna hear it
I don't have to fear it
And I wanna rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And magnificently we will float
Into the mystic
When that fog horn blows
You know I will be coming home
Yeah, when that fog horn whistle blows
I gotta hear it
I don't have to fear it
And I wanna rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will float
Into the mystic
Come on, girl
It's too late to stop now
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won
As we sailed into the mystic
Hark now, hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly
Into the mystic
Yeah, when that fog horn blows
I will be coming home
Yeah, when that fog horn whistle blows
I wanna hear it
I don't have to fear it
And I wanna rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And magnificently we will float
Into the mystic
When that fog horn blows
You know I will be coming home
Yeah, when that fog horn whistle blows
I gotta hear it
I don't have to fear it
And I wanna rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will float
Into the mystic
Come on, girl
It's too late to stop now
I want to run, I want to hide
I wanna tear down the walls that hold me inside
I want to reach out and touch the flame
Where the streets have no name
I wanna feel sunlight on my face
I see the dust cloud disappear without a trace
I wanna take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still building and burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there, I go there with you
It's all I can do
The city's a flood
And our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled in dust
I'll show you a place
High on the desert plain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still building and burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there, I go there with you
It's all I can do
Our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh, and I see love
Our love turn to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh, when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do
I wanna tear down the walls that hold me inside
I want to reach out and touch the flame
Where the streets have no name
I wanna feel sunlight on my face
I see the dust cloud disappear without a trace
I wanna take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still building and burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there, I go there with you
It's all I can do
The city's a flood
And our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled in dust
I'll show you a place
High on the desert plain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still building and burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there, I go there with you
It's all I can do
Our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh, and I see love
Our love turn to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh, when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do
They say the skies of Lebanon are burning
Those mighty cedars bleeding in the heat
They're showing pictures on the television
Women and children dying in the street
And we're still at it in our own place
Still trying to reach the future through the past
Still trying to carve tomorrow from a tombstone
But hey, don't listen to meThis wasn't meant to be no sad song
We've heard too much of that before
Right now I only want to be here with you
Till the morning dew comes falling
I wanna take you to the island
And trace your footprints in the sand
And in the evening when the sun goes down
We'll make love to the sound of the ocean
They're raising banners over by the markets
Whitewashing slogans on the shipyard walls
Witchdoctors praying for a mighty showdown
No way our holy flag is gonna fall
Up here we sacrifice our children
To feed the worn-out dreams of yesterday
And teach them dying will lead us into glory
But hey, don't listen to meThis wasn't meant to be no sad song
We've heard too much of that before
Right now I only want to be here with you
Till the morning dew comes falling
I wanna take you to the island
And trace your footprints in the sand
And in the evening when the sun goes down
We'll make love to the sound of the ocean
Now I know us plain folks don't see all the story
And I know this peace and love's just copping out
And I guess these young boys dying in the ditches
Is just what being free is all about
And how this twisted wreckage down on main street
Will bring us all together in the end
And we'll go marching down the road to freedom
Freedom
Those mighty cedars bleeding in the heat
They're showing pictures on the television
Women and children dying in the street
And we're still at it in our own place
Still trying to reach the future through the past
Still trying to carve tomorrow from a tombstone
But hey, don't listen to meThis wasn't meant to be no sad song
We've heard too much of that before
Right now I only want to be here with you
Till the morning dew comes falling
I wanna take you to the island
And trace your footprints in the sand
And in the evening when the sun goes down
We'll make love to the sound of the ocean
They're raising banners over by the markets
Whitewashing slogans on the shipyard walls
Witchdoctors praying for a mighty showdown
No way our holy flag is gonna fall
Up here we sacrifice our children
To feed the worn-out dreams of yesterday
And teach them dying will lead us into glory
But hey, don't listen to meThis wasn't meant to be no sad song
We've heard too much of that before
Right now I only want to be here with you
Till the morning dew comes falling
I wanna take you to the island
And trace your footprints in the sand
And in the evening when the sun goes down
We'll make love to the sound of the ocean
Now I know us plain folks don't see all the story
And I know this peace and love's just copping out
And I guess these young boys dying in the ditches
Is just what being free is all about
And how this twisted wreckage down on main street
Will bring us all together in the end
And we'll go marching down the road to freedom
Freedom
I am a sailor, you're my first mate
We signed on together, we coupled our fate
Hauled up the anchor, determined not to fail
For the heart's treasure, together we set sail
With no maps to guide us, we steered our own course
Rode out the storms when the winds were gale force
We sat out the doldrums in patience and hope
Working together, we learned how to cope
Life is an ocean and love is a boat
In troubled waters that keeps us afloat
When we started the voyage, there was just me and you
Now, gathered 'round us, we have our own crew
Together we're in this relationship
Built it with care to last the whole trip
Our true destination's not marked on any charts
We're navigating to the shores of the heart
Life is an ocean and love is a boat
In troubled waters that keeps us afloat
When we started the voyage, there was just me and you
Now, gathered 'round us, we have our own crew
Life is an ocean and love is a boat
In troubled waters that keeps us afloat
When we started the voyage, there was just me and you
Now, gathered 'round us
Now, gathered 'round us
Now, gathered 'round us
We have our own crew
We signed on together, we coupled our fate
Hauled up the anchor, determined not to fail
For the heart's treasure, together we set sail
With no maps to guide us, we steered our own course
Rode out the storms when the winds were gale force
We sat out the doldrums in patience and hope
Working together, we learned how to cope
Life is an ocean and love is a boat
In troubled waters that keeps us afloat
When we started the voyage, there was just me and you
Now, gathered 'round us, we have our own crew
Together we're in this relationship
Built it with care to last the whole trip
Our true destination's not marked on any charts
We're navigating to the shores of the heart
Life is an ocean and love is a boat
In troubled waters that keeps us afloat
When we started the voyage, there was just me and you
Now, gathered 'round us, we have our own crew
Life is an ocean and love is a boat
In troubled waters that keeps us afloat
When we started the voyage, there was just me and you
Now, gathered 'round us
Now, gathered 'round us
Now, gathered 'round us
We have our own crew
Take me away from the city
And lead me to where I can be on my own
I wanted to see it, and now that I have
I want just to be left alone
I'll always remember your kind words
And I'll still remember your name
But I've seen you changing and turning
And I know that things won't be the same
I remember that summer in Dublin
And the Liffey as it stank like hell
And the young people walking on Grafton street
And everyone looking so well
I was singing a song I heard somewhere
Called "Rock 'N 'Roll Never Forgets"
When my humming was smothered by a 46A
And the scream of a low-flying jet
So, I jumped on a bus to Dún Laoghaire
Stoppin' off to pick up my guitar
And a drunk on the bus told me how to get rich
I was glad we weren't going too far
So, I'm leaving on Wednesday morning
Trying to find a place where I can hear
The wind and the birds and the sea on the rocks
Where open roads always are near
And if sometimes I tire of the quiet
And I want to walk back up that hill
I'll just get on the road and I'll stick out my thumb
And I know for sure you'll be there still
I remember that summer in Dublin
And the Liffey as it stank like hell
And the young people walking on Grafton street
And everyone looking so well
I was singing a song I heard somewhere
Called "Rock 'N 'Roll Never Forgets"
When my humming was smothered by a 32B
And the scream of a low-flying jet
So, I jumped on a bus to Dún Laoghaire
Stopping off to pick up my guitar
And a drunk on the bus told me how to get rich
I was glad we weren't going too far
And I remember that summer in Dublin
I remember that summer in Dublin
And lead me to where I can be on my own
I wanted to see it, and now that I have
I want just to be left alone
I'll always remember your kind words
And I'll still remember your name
But I've seen you changing and turning
And I know that things won't be the same
I remember that summer in Dublin
And the Liffey as it stank like hell
And the young people walking on Grafton street
And everyone looking so well

And the scream of a low-flying jet

And I remember that summer in Dublin
I remember that summer in Dublin
Well, the road is wide
Water runs on either side
And my shadow in the fading light
Is stretching out towards the night
'Cause the sun is low
And I, yet, have still so far to go
My lonely heart is beating so
Tired of the wonder
There's a sign ahead
Though I think it's the same one again
But I'm thinking 'bout my only friend
So, I find my way home
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light, you're my guiding light
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light, you're my guiding light
Well, the air is cold
Yonder lies my sleeping soul
By the branches, broke like bones
This weakened tree no longer holds
Well, the night is still
And I have not yet lost my will
Oh, and I will keep on moving till
Until I find my way home
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light, you're my guiding light
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light, you're my guiding light
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light, you're my guiding light
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light, you're my guiding light
So, lead me on, lead me strong like the road I walk on
(When I need to get home, you're my guiding light, you're my guiding light)
So, lead me on, lead me strong like this road I walk on
(When I need to get home, you're my guiding light, you're my guiding light)
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light, you're my guiding light
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light, you're my guiding light
Water runs on either side
And my shadow in the fading light
Is stretching out towards the night
'Cause the sun is low
And I, yet, have still so far to go
My lonely heart is beating so
Tired of the wonder
There's a sign ahead
Though I think it's the same one again
But I'm thinking 'bout my only friend
So, I find my way home
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light, you're my guiding light
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light, you're my guiding light
Well, the air is cold
Yonder lies my sleeping soul
By the branches, broke like bones
This weakened tree no longer holds
Well, the night is still
And I have not yet lost my will
Oh, and I will keep on moving till
Until I find my way home
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light, you're my guiding light
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light, you're my guiding light
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light, you're my guiding light
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light, you're my guiding light
So, lead me on, lead me strong like the road I walk on
(When I need to get home, you're my guiding light, you're my guiding light)
So, lead me on, lead me strong like this road I walk on
(When I need to get home, you're my guiding light, you're my guiding light)
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light, you're my guiding light
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light, you're my guiding light
If life is a river and your heart is a boat
Just like a water baby, baby, born to float
If life is a wild wind that blows way on high
And your heart is Amelia dying to fly
Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen Heaven in your eyes
And if life is a bar room in which we must wait
'Round the man with his fingers on the ivory gates
Where we sing until dawn of our fears and our fates
And we stack all the dead men in self-addressed crates
In your eyes
Faint as the singing of a lark
That somehow this black night
Feels warmer for the spark
Warmer for the spark
To hold us till the day
When fear will lose its grip
And Heaven has its way
Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen Heaven in your eyes
If your life is a rough bed of brambles and nails
And your spirit's a slave to man's whips and man's jails
Where you thirst and you hunger for justice and right
Then your heart is a pure flame of man's constant night
In your eyes
Faint as the singing of a lark
That somehow this black night
Feels warmer for the spark
Warmer for the spark
To hold us till the day
When fear will lose its grip
And Heaven has its way
Heaven knows no frontiers
I've seen Heaven in your eyes
Heaven knows no frontiers
I've seen Heaven in your eyes
In your eyes
Just like a water baby, baby, born to float
If life is a wild wind that blows way on high
And your heart is Amelia dying to fly
Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen Heaven in your eyes
And if life is a bar room in which we must wait
'Round the man with his fingers on the ivory gates
Where we sing until dawn of our fears and our fates
And we stack all the dead men in self-addressed crates
In your eyes
Faint as the singing of a lark
That somehow this black night
Feels warmer for the spark
Warmer for the spark
To hold us till the day
When fear will lose its grip
And Heaven has its way
Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen Heaven in your eyes
If your life is a rough bed of brambles and nails
And your spirit's a slave to man's whips and man's jails
Where you thirst and you hunger for justice and right
Then your heart is a pure flame of man's constant night
In your eyes
Faint as the singing of a lark
That somehow this black night
Feels warmer for the spark
Warmer for the spark
To hold us till the day
When fear will lose its grip
And Heaven has its way
Heaven knows no frontiers
I've seen Heaven in your eyes
Heaven knows no frontiers
I've seen Heaven in your eyes
In your eyes
And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes
And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes
Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I wanted to
Leave it all behind?
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind
My mind
Until I find somebody new
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes
And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes
Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I wanted to
Leave it all behind?
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind
My mind
Until I find somebody new
Of all the money that e'er I had
I have spent it in good company
Oh and all the harm I've ever done
Alas, it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of with
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And of all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They would wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call
Good night and joy be with you all
But as it falls unto my lot
That I must go and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be with you all
I have spent it in good company
Oh and all the harm I've ever done
Alas, it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of with
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And of all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They would wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call
Good night and joy be with you all
But as it falls unto my lot
That I must go and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be with you all
For the sun, for the light
For the ride and for the masters
Oh we come, to be kind
To be warm here and after
We've been out, but we're back
Because we're graced in these matters
And we'll rise
And we did a little love, but we walked
We make a sound for the messed up
Make a little call
To the right, to the ball
And to the mast-top
And we
We fool around now and again
We're looking good
But just as friends
This is our heyday baby
We're not gonna be afraid to shout
'Cause we can make our heyday last forever
Ain't that what it's all about
Oh living, in our own terrible way
And we lack a little love
But a sign, a sign to get a little messed up
Picking up the rules
For the chimes making up minds
And making it last us
'Cause we live alone, and now we've grown
And we know what we're after
And we'll rise
We fool around now and again
We're looking good
But just as friends
This is our heyday baby
We're not gonna be afraid to shout
'Cause we can make our heyday last forever
And ain't that what it's all about
We fool around now and again
We're looking good
But just as friends
So we have ourself a break
And when we're done
And we come to our senses
And we'll rise
And we'll rise
This is our heyday baby
This is our heyday baby
This is our heyday baby
Ain't that what it's all about
Oh living, in our own terrible way
In our own terrible way
This is our heyday baby
For the ride and for the masters
Oh we come, to be kind
To be warm here and after
We've been out, but we're back
Because we're graced in these matters
And we'll rise
And we did a little love, but we walked
We make a sound for the messed up
Make a little call
To the right, to the ball
And to the mast-top
And we
We fool around now and again
We're looking good
But just as friends
This is our heyday baby
We're not gonna be afraid to shout
'Cause we can make our heyday last forever
Ain't that what it's all about
Oh living, in our own terrible way
And we lack a little love
But a sign, a sign to get a little messed up
Picking up the rules
For the chimes making up minds
And making it last us
'Cause we live alone, and now we've grown
And we know what we're after

And we'll rise
This is our heyday baby
This is our heyday baby
This is our heyday baby
Ain't that what it's all about
Oh living, in our own terrible way
In our own terrible way
This is our heyday baby
I guess at the start it was just a thing
And I woke waiting for the phone to ring
Hello, hello
My day began and you gonna bet
I can't get you out of my head
At all, at all
We never changed
Through the years
Never give in
To those fears
We didn't give up
Even with doubt
Climbing over walls that we built
We don't have to tear them down
Love is a home
These walls keep us warm
Even in the eye of the storm
I know we're unbreakable
Love set in stone
Everybody said what will be will be
But you said get on a plane to me
Come on
You wait around for the hand of fate
But I needed you, I couldn't wait
At all, at all
We never changed
Through the years
Never give in
To those fears
We didn't give up
Even with doubt
Climbing over walls that we built
We don't have to tear them down
Love is a home
These walls keep us warm
Even in the eye of the storm
I know we're unbreakable
Love set in stone
What might have been
If we let go
I thank my lucky stars
That we'll never know
We didn't give up
Even with doubt
Climbing over walls that we built
We don't have to tear them down
Love is a home
These walls keep me warm
Even in the eye of the storm
I know we're unbreakable
Love set in stone
I guess at the start it was just a thing
And I woke waiting for the phone to ring
Hello
And I woke waiting for the phone to ring
Hello, hello
My day began and you gonna bet
I can't get you out of my head
At all, at all
We never changed
Through the years
Never give in
To those fears
We didn't give up
Even with doubt
Climbing over walls that we built
We don't have to tear them down
Love is a home
These walls keep us warm
Even in the eye of the storm
I know we're unbreakable
Love set in stone
Everybody said what will be will be
But you said get on a plane to me
Come on
You wait around for the hand of fate
But I needed you, I couldn't wait
At all, at all
We never changed
Through the years
Never give in
To those fears
We didn't give up
Even with doubt
Climbing over walls that we built
We don't have to tear them down
Love is a home
These walls keep us warm
Even in the eye of the storm
I know we're unbreakable
Love set in stone
What might have been
If we let go
I thank my lucky stars
That we'll never know
We didn't give up
Even with doubt
Climbing over walls that we built
We don't have to tear them down
Love is a home
These walls keep me warm
Even in the eye of the storm
I know we're unbreakable
Love set in stone
I guess at the start it was just a thing
And I woke waiting for the phone to ring
Hello
