He was throwing grain into the ground below, ground below
With dreary circles of his arm, going slow, very slow
His cap pulled down roun' his ears to
Hide the smile and watery tears

My loving wife is so wonderful
How small seeds gracefully to grow
Into beautiful things that spring from these rows
With their musical names and musical sounds

Dreary birds parade across the dreary sky, but down below
The woman absentmindedly begins to sow, how she sows
The seeds her husband loved so much
But he's no longer here with us

But her life is so beautiful
As memories continue to grow
Into beautiful things that spring from these rows
With their musical names and musical sounds
And beautiful things that spring from these rows
With their musical names and musical sounds, and musical sounds

Distant though I am
Orange, gold, and green
Firing, flaming, colors surround me
I'm always wondering where you are
I'm always wondering where you are
Darling shouldn't I be the one
Wondering after all I am the one who is gone
I'm always wondering where you are
I'm always wondering where you are
Darling shouldn't I be the one
Wondering after all I am the one who is gone
I'm always wondering
I was just wondering
I was just wondering
I'm the one who is gone
Who is gone

But, there's beautiful things that spring from these rows
With their musical names, and musical sounds
And musical sounds
