Yeats' Grave

Written by Dolores O'Riordan (I guess)
Performed by The Cranberries

Silenced by death
Yeats' grave
Uh...uh, uh, uh...
[Liam] Butler Yeats
Couldn't save
Uh...uh, uh, uh...
Why did you stand here?
Were you [sickened] [of] time?
But I know by now
Why [did] you sit here, uh, uh...

Yeats' grave
Yeats' grave, eh, eh...
Yeats' grave
Yeats' grave, eh, eh, eh...

(Reciting one of Yeats' poems
...[Why]...

......
...[the misery]...
......)

I know this post is severely broken- because my memories of the lyrics of this song are broken. I don't have the lyrics with me, I left them at my parents' apartment- and I'm not going back there, you know.

Could anybody help me finish this song? Thanks. It doesn't hurt if no one does that in the end, since, well, this has been such a rambling and so it doesn't deserve much good.

Must be lots of errors.

Just feel like playing the song, in spite of my knowing The Cranberries sounded awful live...love their studio recordings nevertheless.

"Yeat's 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... [X 4]

Why should I blame her,
Had they the courage equal to desire.
William Butler... [X 3]
