Lyrics Faster Than the Hound - Horslips

Faster Than the Hound

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
