The Scattering Lyrics - Singles - Cutting Crew

boys and girls will see in time 

that they were wrong to go 

fires don't burn at home, like they 

used to burn, those nights 

grew so long 

the scattering 

(all the children say) 

will come again 

(it's taken them away) 

no seeds to fall 

(all the children say) 

no sons to blame 

as one by one they left home 

tired old men 

spin tales of when 

a man could work 

and hold his head up high 

ghosts roam this town 

with pockets full of rye they'd all fall down 

but soon their jars all ran dry 

the scattering 

(all the children say) 

will come again 

(it's taken them away) 

no seeds to fall 

(all the children say) 

no sons to blame 

as one by one they left home 

the scattering 

(all the children say) 

has come again 

(it's taken them away) 

no seeds to fall 

(all the children say) 

like better days 

the scattering 

(all the children say) 

has come again 

(it's taken them away) 

but if skies could fall 

(all the children say) 

with harvest rain 

then one by one... 

they'll come home
