Faster Than the Hound

Faster Than the Hound - Horslips

I once told her

Where she could find her dream

And I still adore her

No matter how it seems

I saw our stars fall

Crash without a sound

Stars go crashing

Faster than the hound

I saw him sleeping

Alone beneath the sky

I caught him weeping

And I for one knew why

Alone you are

I saw the ravens

Black without a sound

Ravens swirling

Faster than the hound

I travel ireland in a day

You just nod I'm on my way

I've golden wings upon my feet

I seldom touch the ground

The only thing I'm not

Is faster than the hound

Now I see her leaving

With the light of people's dreams

Ignorant of rainbows

In the trees where we have been

Trees where we have been

But now there are ravens

Crash without a sound

Ravens growing closer

Faster than the hound
