The Wandering Hearts - Laid In The Ground lyrics

Wear your best and darkest clothes my friend Shoes may shine and hem may be bent 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
