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-ah

In the grave
In the grave
In the grave
In the grave

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-la-la
But she had MacBride anyway
La-la
And you sit here with me
On the isle Innisfree
And you are writing down anything
But I know by now
Why did you sit here?
Ah-ah (ah-ah)

In the grave
In the grave
In the grave
In the grave

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

Why should I blame her?
Had they but courage equal to desire
Had they but courage equal to desire (William Butler, William Butler)
