Man plants a seed
And a flower grows
Blossom fragrance
Of a perfumed rose
Man plants a seed
Of love in his woman's soul
Know not does he
Of just what will grow
Though he can't be sure
Of what will harvest there
Well if he saw
A hardness spread
Those are the seeds of life
Man plants a seed
And a famous bud
So full of life
In a world that's gone on
Man plants a seed
In a mother's mind
That this child of their's
Will make things fine
Still he can see
That love won't last
Because...
A woman's got a...
Those are the seeds of life
A man is planted
After
In a lone cemetery plot
Without one single wreath
Now all of his life
He placed no one above
Now his woman cries
For her dead man's love
Love gone to waste
Of a man's life
Those are the seeds of life
