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.
