Yeats’ Grave Songtext
von The Cranberries

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

La-la-da-da
La-la-da-da
La-la-da-da-da-la-da
La-la-da-da
La-la-da-da
La-la-da-da-da-la-da

Why should I blame her?
Had they but courage equal to desire
Had they but courage equal to desire
