He lied to every one
What's easier than sleep?
What's harder than a song?
And in the start
She stole him from the water
It's every mother's way.
A lie is ever near
It digs into the sand
It's fingers ever clear
And in the end
She only tried to hold him
It's every mother's way.
And now it's nothing
She lives alone
And now every fallen robin
Has found a home
I have a home.
It went up into the air.
And bent around the sun.
What falls upon the earth
Is lost to everyone
He was a flower
His ringing ears could teach him
Of every mother's way.
And now it's nothing
She lives alone again
And like another fallen robin
I'll struggle to survive
But I am alive
I am alive.
