Scattered Songtext
von Beaver Nelson

If I seem a little scattered
If I seem a little tossed
It′s 'cause I thought that something mattered
Now that something is lost

Thought I saw it in Chicago
Or somewhere south of San Antone
Thought I saw it flying cargo
Over caves of fire and bone

But you say I won′t never find it
'Cause it ain't looking for me

So if I seem a little scattered
If I seem a little tossed
It′s ′cause I thought that something mattered
Now that something is lost


Thought I had it on my shoulder
Thought it'd never go away
Little dumber, little older
′Til there's nothing much to say

I′ll soon be there in God's great stand
That′s why I can't be here

So if I seem a little scattered
If I seem a little tossed
It's ′cause I thought that something mattered
Now that something is lost

Guess I went around a corner
There′s always something left to do
Something new and something former
Don't mix as well as they used to

The fire and ice in a box of time
When opened don′t seem like nothing much at all

So if I seem a little scattered
If I seem a little tossed
It's ′cause I thought that something mattered
Now that something is lost
