Scattered |
| This song is dedicated to the memory of |
| Annie Florence Davies and Carol Bryans |
| Like a seed that is sewn |
| All the children are scattered |
| By a breeze that is blown |
| Now the crops are all scattered |
| We are torn, we are shattered |
| Now some of us are barmy and battered |
| And the fields where we gathered |
| Are overgrown in weeds and in tatters |
| Through it all we were scattered |
| To the fields we are scattered |
| From the day we are born |
| To grow wild and sleep rough |
| Till from the earth we are torn |
| And a soul that is free |
| Can live on eternally |
| And the spirit can live on |
| Though it’s scattered in the world beyond |
| And I’ve been out of my mind |
| Ever since she’s been gone |
| I look around that empty room |
| No sight nor sound |
| She’s left so soon |
| She’s out of view |
| But the I find |
| Those scattered clues she left behind |
| A photograph with a smiling face |
| A cigarette stubbed out on the fireplace |
| A coffee cup with her lipstick stains |
| I guess I’ll never see her again |
| Now my life is all scattered |
| Ever since she’s been gone |
| I feel older, I feel fatter |
| I feel the blues coming on |
| We get bruised |
| We get battered |
| But we’ll pick up the pieces that scattered |
| And with emotional glue |
| We’re gonna stick together, body and mind |
| Ever since she went away |
| I’ve been alone to contemplate |
| Time and space and why world’s move |
| While sitting in my solitude |
| I’ve watched the stars and wondered why |
| They’re scattered up there in the sky |
| And is she up there out of view |
| On some higher platitude |
| I wish I knew |
| Wish I could prove |
| The reason why this life on earth |
| Is scattered like the universe |
| I’m scattered here and scattered there |
| Bits of me scattered everywhere |
| To the fields we are scattered |
| Then from the dust we are born |
| We survive somewhat battered |
| To a new life, a new dawn |
| IN the end what will it matter |
| There’ll only be my ashes to scatter |
| And all the logical answers |
| To a worrying mind |
| Will be scattered in time |
| Beaten and battered |
| To the earth you are scattered |
| You’re going home so what does it matter |
| To an atomic mind |
| Scattered here while you travel time |
