You have lived inside a home Weathered from the years And the rooms that once were full With the children you held dear Progress came Stole your sons away So you watched the mother birds And with jealousy you stir Lift your hands to water plants you adopted from the Earth Where, oh where Have your children slept these nights without your care? And seeds, oh seeds Occupied your mind will stay at ease All your books will line the shelves Proving every page you've read And your pen will spread the ink Catalogue the thoughts you've kept Days run short, your garden rests assured Mother's eyes are watching over dirt Where, oh where Have your children slept despite the cold night air? And seeds, oh seeds Occupied your mind will stay at ease Alone with the best, a root to look after They emptied your nest, no words could have mattered We live, live In separate chapters We live, we live Only ourselves to look after We live, we live In separate chapters We live, we live Only ourselves to look after
