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

My loving wife is so wonderful
How small seeds gracefully do 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 her musical names and musical sounds
And there's 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'm 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'm 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
