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 

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 

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 

Heroes and rogues 
Together surrounded by nature 
Lump in my throat 
Sat in the land of your maker 
I drift away 
In loving memory of a name
