Donna Hughes - Scattered To The Wind lyrics

She kept the beds made and stayed there all alone

Washed her clothes and hung them out to dry

Did things the same old way and though her kids were gone

She kept the lights on in their room at night

She kept the dust away until she could no more

and the house was sold and everything inside

All her treasures were not worth much at all

Always happy she had never questioned why

Chorus:

Everything she owned was scattered to the wind

Sold at auction on a sunny autumn day

It took a lifetime to find all the things she wanted

And a day for all those hands to come and carry them away

Her daughter closed the door and looked back one more time

She could feel her mother's eyes

Watching down on her just like years ago

From her window at the kitchen as a child

Those summer nights seemed like they would never end

And she remembered how her Mama prayed for rain

Where did all that time go and leave me here

To face the world without my Mama in the rain?

Chorus
