[Chorus]
A dreaded sunny day
So I meet you at the cemetry gates
Keats and Yeats are on your side
A dreaded sunny day
So I meet you at the cemetry gates
Keats and Yeats are on your side
While Wilde is on mine
[Verse 1]
So we go inside and we gravely read the stones
All those people, all those lives
Where are they now?
With loves, with hates
And passions just like mine
They were born
And then they lived
And then they died
Seems so unfair
Oh, I want to cry
[Refrain]
You say, "'Ere thrice the sun done salutation to the dawn"
And you claim these words as your own
But I’ve read well and I've heard them said
A hundred times, maybe less, maybe more
A dreaded sunny day
So I meet you at the cemetry gates
Keats and Yeats are on your side
A dreaded sunny day
So I meet you at the cemetry gates
Keats and Yeats are on your side
While Wilde is on mine
[Verse 1]
So we go inside and we gravely read the stones
All those people, all those lives
Where are they now?
With loves, with hates
And passions just like mine
They were born
And then they lived
And then they died
Seems so unfair
Oh, I want to cry
[Refrain]
You say, "'Ere thrice the sun done salutation to the dawn"
And you claim these words as your own
But I’ve read well and I've heard them said
A hundred times, maybe less, maybe more
