He lied to every one,
What's easier than sleep'
What's harder than a song'
And, at 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,
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,
Like another fallen robin, I'll struggle to survive,
But I am alive,
I am alive.
