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

Chorus:
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

(Chorus)

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
