Yeats' Grave |
Na, na na na. |
Na, na, na… |
Silenced by death in the grave, |
Da da da da. |
William Butler Yeats couldn’t save. |
Da da de da. |
Why did you stand here, |
Were you sickened in time? |
But I know by now. |
Why did you sit here, ah… |
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, |
Da da da da, but she had Mac Bride anyway. |
And you sit here with me on the Isle Inisfree, |
And you’re writting down ev’rything. |
But I know by now. |
Why did you sit here, ah… |
In the grave, in the gra-a-ave. |
In the grave, in the gra-a-a-ave? |
La da da da; |
La da da da… |
William Butler… |
Why should I blame her, |
Had they the courage equal to desire. |
William Butler… |
