"Mother Earth And Father Time" lyrics

Shovels & Rope Lyrics

"Mother Earth And Father Time"
(feat. The Secret Sisters)

How very special are we
For just a moment to be
Part of life's eternal rhyme

How very special are we
To have on our fam'ly tree
Mother Earth and Father Time

He turns the seasons around
And so he changes her gown
But they always look in their prime

They go on dancing their dance
Of everlasting romance
Mother Earth and Father Time

The summer larks return the scene
Oh, what a gift they give
Then autumn days grow short and cold
Oh, what a joy to live

How very special are we
For just a moment to be
Part of life's eternal rhyme

How very special are we
To have on our fam'ly tree
Mother Earth and Father Time
