Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Seeds of Children (Si Kahn)
Evening comes so early The fire in the kitchen's burning low All along the mountain The dogs are making footprints in the snow They go in circles through the pine trees Like some lonesome traveler looking for a town Bread is rising in the oven Stand beside me, watch December coming down
The Northeast wind is driving The squalling snow along the frozen ground Staring out the window I think of how our drifting lives have found A place to plant the seeds of children And to store up love to warm us growing old In the winter of our lives, you'll be here to help me drive away the cold.
Don't it make you wonder That this tired world could look so clean and bright Talking about babies Our fears are falling hard and fast tonight And it's all right to dream of planting Even though last summer's ground seems old and worn Underneath the snow the seeds of spring are waiting like a baby to be born.
