Horslips - Faster Than The Hound lyrics

rate me

MacRoth is Maeve's messanger. In this song he reflects on the events of <br />

The Tain.<br />

I once told her<br />

Where she could find her dream.<br />

And I still adore her,<br />

No matter how it seems.<br />

I saw our stars fall,<br />

Crash without a sound.<br />

Stars go crashing<br />

Faster than the Hound. <br />

I saw him sleeping<br />

Alone beneath the sky.<br />

I caught him weeping,<br />

And I, for one, knew why.<br />

I saw the ravens,<br />

Black without a sound.<br />

Ravens swirling<br />

Faster than the Hound.<br />

I travel Ireland in a day.<br />

You just nod, I'm on my way.<br />

I've golden wings upon my feet.<br />

I seldom touch the ground.<br />

The only thing I'm not<br />

Is faster than the Hound.<br />

Now I watch her leaving<br />

With the light of people's dreams,<br />

Ignorant of rainbows<br />

In the trees where we have been.<br />

Also there are ravens<br />

High above the ground.<br />

Ravens growing closer<br />

Faster than the Hound
