Lyrics Laid In The Ground - The Wandering Hearts

Laid In The Ground

Wear your best and darkest clothes my friend
Shoes may shine and hair may be bound
Have a drink if you like to calm your nerve
Once they’re laid there in the ground
We’ll be strong for our loved ones dear
Till they’re worn out and sleeping sound
For the old we’ll mourn and the children well
Once they’re laid there in the ground
Said I wouldn’t leave you alone and I didn’t
Said I wouldn’t leave you alone and I didn’t
Said I wouldn’t leave you alone and I didn’t
Said I wouldn’t leave you alone and I didn’t
Said I wouldn’t leave you alone and I didn’t
Said I wouldn’t leave you alone and I didn’t
Said I wouldn’t leave you alone and I didn’t
Said I wouldn’t leave you alone
In the ground
There’s a letter in my bedside drawer
Waiting there to be found
Though I go with you, I won’t return
Once you’ve laid me in the ground
Said I wouldn’t leave you alone and I didn’t
Said I wouldn’t leave you alone and I didn’t
Said I wouldn’t leave you alone and I didn’t
Said I wouldn’t leave you alone and I didn’t
Said I wouldn’t leave you alone and I didn’t
Said I wouldn’t leave you alone and I didn’t
Said I wouldn’t leave you alone and I didn’t
Said I wouldn’t leave you alone
In the ground, in the ground
Once you’ve laid me in the ground
In the ground, in the ground
Once you’ve laid me in the ground
In the ground I’ll lay till we meet one day
When we’ll lay there in the ground
