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
