Horslips

Horslips are an Irish celtic rock band that compose, arrange and perform songs based on traditional Irish jigs and reels. The group are regarded as 'founding fathers of celtic rock' for their fusion of traditional Irish music with rock music and went on to inspire many local and international acts. They formed in 1970 and 'retired' in 1980 for an extended period. The name originated from a spoonerism on The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse which became "The Four Poxmen of The Horslypse". more »

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.

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 watch her leaving
With the light of people's dreams,
Ignorant of rainbows
In the trees where we have been.

Also there are ravens
High above the ground.
Ravens growing closer
Faster than the Hound
