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 the 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 alone 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 your head, I’m on my way

I’ve got silver 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

But now there are ravens

Black without a sound

Ravens growing closer

Faster than the Hound
