this song is dedicated to the memory of[00:00:01]
annie florence davies and carol bryans.[00:00:02]
like a seed that is sewn[00:00:03]
all the children are scattered[00:00:05]
by a breeze that is blown[00:00:09]
now the crops are all scattered[00:00:13]
we are torn, we are shattered[00:00:17]
now some of us are barmy and battered[00:00:21]
and the fields where we gathered[00:00:25]
are overgrown in weeds and in tatters[00:00:29]
through it all we were scattered[00:00:32]
to the fields we are scattered[00:00:37]
from the day we are born[00:00:39]
to grow wild and sleep rough[00:00:43]
till from the earth we are torn[00:00:47]
and a soul that is free[00:00:50]
can live on eternally[00:00:55]
and the spirit can live on[00:00:57]
though it's scattered in the world beyond[00:01:01]
and i've been out of my mind[00:01:04]
ever since she's been gone[00:01:07]
i look around that empty room[00:01:10]
no sight nor sound[00:01:17]
she's left so soon[00:01:21]
she's out of view[00:01:24]
but the i find[00:01:28]
those scattered clues she left behind[00:01:32]
a photograph with a smiling face[00:01:39]
a cigarette stubbed out on the fireplace[00:01:42]
a coffee cup with her lipstick stains[00:01:46]
i guess i'll never see her again[00:01:49]
now my life is all scattered[00:01:53]
ever since she's been gone[00:01:56]
i feel older, i feel fatter[00:01:59]
i feel the blues coming on[00:02:04]
we get bruised[00:02:07]
we get battered[00:02:09]
but we'll pick up the pieces that scattered[00:02:11]
and with emotional glue[00:02:14]
we're gonna stick together, body and mind[00:02:16]
ever since she went away[00:02:19]
i've been alone to contemplate[00:02:22]
time and space and why world's move[00:02:26]
while sitting in my solitude[00:02:29]
i've watched the stars and wondered why[00:02:32]
they're scattered up there in the sky[00:02:37]
and is she up there out of view[00:02:40]
on some higher platitude[00:02:43]
i wish i knew[00:02:48]
wish i could prove[00:02:52]
the reason why this life on earth[00:02:55]
is scattered like the universe[00:02:58]
i'm scattered here and scattered there[00:03:09]
bits of me scattered everywhere[00:03:13]
to the fields we are scattered[00:03:16]
then from the dust we are born[00:03:19]
we survive somewhat battered[00:03:22]
to a new life, a new dawn[00:03:26]
in the end what will it matter[00:03:30]
there'll only be my ashes to scatter[00:03:34]
and all the logical answers[00:03:37]
to a worrying mind[00:03:40]
will be scattered in time[00:03:41]
beaten and battered[00:03:44]
to the earth you are scattered[00:03:48]
you're going home so what does it matter[00:03:52]
to an atomic mind[00:03:55]
scattered here while you travel time[00:03:57]
