Garden Song

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
