[Verse 1]
Boom goes my heart
Dancing around your daisies
Church bells will start
Sat on you reading your ages
I drift away
In loving memory of a name
[Verse 2]
Covered in moss
You may have died for your country
Forgotten, not lost
You're laid to rest where you're wanted
I stare awhile
In loving memory of a name
[Chorus]
England can never repay you
You gave your life to be buried alongside
The place you loved
The sermons attended when you were young
Still echo round these churchyard walls
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
England can never repay you
You gave your life to be buried alongside
The place you loved
The sermons attended when you were young
Still echo round these churchyard walls
[Verse 3]
Heroes and rogues
Together surrounded by nature
Lump in my throat
Sat in the land of your maker
I drift away
[Outro]
Loving memory of a name
Loving memory of a name
Loving memory of a name
