The Cranberries - Yeats' Grave (Remastered 2020)(1994)

Silenced by death in the grave
La-la-la-la
William Butler Yeats couldn't save
La-la-la-la
Why did you stand here?
Were you sickened in time?
But I know by now
Why did you sit here, ah-ha?

In the grave
In the gra-a-ave
In the grave
In the gra-a-a-ave

Why should I blame her?
That she filled my days
With misery or that she would of late
Have taught to ignorant men most violent ways
Or hurled the little streets upon the great
Had they but courage equal to desire

Sad that Maud Gonne couldn't stay
La-la-a-ah
She had Mac Bride anyway
La-ah
And you sit here with me
On the isle Innisfree
And you're writing down anything
But I know by now
Why did you sit here?
Ah-ha (Ah-ha)

In the grave
In the gra-a-ave
La-la-a-ah
