The Waterboys - An Irish Airman Foresees His d**h lyrics

Scott-Yeats I know that I shall meet my fate somewhere among the clouds above Those that I fight I do not hate, those that I guard I do not love My country is Kiltartan Cross, my countrymen Kiltartan's poor No likely end could bring them loss or leave them happier than before. Nor law, nor duty bade me fight, nor public men, nor cheering crowds A lonely impulse of delight drove to this tumult in the clouds I balanced all, brought all to mind, the years to come seemed waste of breath A waste of breath the years behind in balance with this life, this d**h A waste of breath the years behind in balance with this life, this d**h.
