[00:00.06]She kept the beds made and stayed there all alone
[00:15.21]Washed her clothes and hung them out to dry
[00:17.25]Did things the same old way and though her kids were gone
[00:22.92]She kept the lights on in their room at night
[00:23.79]She kept the dust away until she could no more
[00:28.08]And the house was sold and everything inside
[00:29.04]And all her treasures were not worth much at all
[00:45.51]Always happy
[00:47.01]She had never questioned why
[00:53.22]And everything she owned was scattered to the wind
[00:54.24]Sold at auction on a sunny autumn day
[00:55.17]It took a lifetime to find all the things she wanted
[00:56.37]And a day for all those hands to come and carry them away
[00:58.80]Her daughter closed the door and looked back one last time
[01:02.43]She could feel her mother's eyes
[01:03.00]Watching down on her just like years ago
[01:03.84]From her window at the kitchen
[01:04.50]As a child
[01:04.76]Those summer nights seemed like they would never end
[01:05.73]And she remembered how her mama prayed for rain
[01:10.59]Where did all that time go and leave me here
[01:12.78]To face the world without my mama in the rain
[01:22.32]And everything she owned was scattered to the wind
[01:23.34]Sold at auction on a sunny autumn day
[01:35.19]It took a lifetime to find all the things she wanted
[01:37.38]And a day for all those hands to come and carry them away
[01:38.55]And everything she owned was scattered to the wind
[02:00.78]Sold at auction on a sunny autumn day
[02:03.03]It took a lifetime to find all the things she wanted
[02:04.11]And a day for all those hands to come and carry them away
[02:22.23]And a day for all those hands to come and carry them away
