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
