Mull Historical Society - Seeds Lyrics

Old wife at the window
Yellow teeth and no hair
She's spitting out her stories
Like they're seeds in the air
People say she's crazy and she would agree
Hey crazy lady spit out a story for me

Sitting Bull on his horse
And Red Cloud on the wall
She moans and she sighs
She's seen she's heard it all
Seeds in the wind but where is it they go
Hey hoka hey and may the wind never go
And never cease to flow
And never cease to flow

And some fell on the ground
And some died in the sun
And some fell among thorns
And strangled every one
And some fell by the side
The birds they devoured
And some fell on the earth
And time passed and they flowered

The seeds can't hide hide hide
What you got inside side
And when she smiles smiles
Oh the seeds can't hide

A boy at the window
Leaves of Autumn they fly
He's lost in the mystery
Of living and dying
There's a story to type
But nobody will read
Hey crazy lady spit out a seed
The old wife she lingers
Behind the door
She's sighs and she smiles
She's seen this wind before
People say she's crazy
And she would agree
Hey crazy spit out a story
Spit out a story
For me!

And some fell on the ground
And some died in the sun
And some fell among thorns
And strangled every one
And some fell by the side
The birds they devoured
And some fell on the earth
And time passed and they flowered

The seeds can't hide hide hide
What you got inside side
And when she smiles smiles
Oh the seeds can't hide

Can the seeds work
The days don't find
The words are kind

Why she wakes she sighs
She laughs/smiles she cries
She speaks of life
One day I'll write her story down
