Lyrics
0:30Silenced by death in the grave
0:35WB Yeats couldn't save
0:45Why did you stand here
0:47Were you sickened in time
0:50But I know by now
0:52Why did you sit here
0:54In the GRAVE
1:20W B Yeats 'Second'
1:22Why should I blame her
1:23That she filled my days
1:25With misery or that she would of late
1:27Have taught to ignorant men violent ways
1:30Or hurled the little street upon the greant
1:32Had they but courage
1:34Equal to desire
1:35Sad that Maud Gonne couldn't stay
1:39But she had Mac Bride anyway
1:47And you sit here with me
1:49On the isle Inistee
1:50And your writing down everything
1:53But I know by now
1:55Why did you sit here
1:57In a grave
2:45Why should I blame her
2:48Had they but courage equal to desire
Silenced by death in the grave WB Yeats couldn't save Why did you stand here Were you sickened in time But I know by now Why did you sit here In the GRAVE W B Yeats 'Second' Why should I blame her That she filled my days With misery or that she would of late Have taught to ignorant men violent ways Or hurled the little street upon the greant Had they but courage Equal to desire Sad that Maud Gonne couldn't stay But she had Mac Bride anyway And you sit here with me On the isle Inistee And your writing down everything But I know by now Why did you sit here In a grave Why should I blame her Had they but courage equal to desire
