[Verse 1]
I'll never forget when you said something wise
That people are loved
In death in a way that they aren't in life
Is love enough?
Even so, as we crossed by the churchyard
I feel you shiver coldly
You say you're afraid of sleepin'
I'll tell you what my grandfather told me

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll tell you what my grandfather told me
This is what my grandfather told me:

[Chorus]
"It's not the dead ones you've got to worry about, my dear
Beneath the moss, you hear them sigh
And I promise you have nothing to fеar
You've got enough to get on with thе living
Let these ones sleep
There's enough trouble above the earth
So don't fret 'bout what's underneath"

[Post-Chorus]
Da-da, da-da
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Da-da, da-da
Da-da, da-da, da-da
[Verse 3]
Cemeteries or socials
Where do I spend my time?
Among the dead I'm a local
And they don't seem to mind
In fact I find it quite hopeful
To hear the quiet sigh
So come lay down in the soft ground and now
Think of what my grandfather told me

[Pre-Chorus]
Think of what my grandfather told me
Oh, this is what my grandfather told me:

[Chorus]
Hey
"It's not the dead ones you've got to worry about, my dear
Beneath the moss, you hear them sigh
And I promise you have nothing to fear
(You've got) You've got enough to get on with the living
Let these ones sleep
There's enough trouble above the earth
So don't fret 'bout what's underneath"
Ooh-ooh

[Outro]
Da-da, da-da
Da-da, da-da, da-da
La-da, la-la
Da-da, da-da, da-da
