Jigsaw Puzzle Of Life

Kate & Anna Mcgarrigle


Like the seeds of the weeds 
In an Autumn wind 
We met out in mid air 
And fell together 
In a patch of ground 
And grew to be a pair 

But not a pair in the usual sense 
As you were much too tall 
With curly hair while mine was straight 
And I was much to small 

We were like interlocking pieces 
In the Jigsaw Puzzle of Life 

Now the puzzle is faded 
Half the pieces are lost 
It's limp with ten years wear 
Our edges are ragged 
And the fit is loose 
I guess that we'd best take care 

Our scene is pastoral 
Naive like our minds 
Not fun to be in some times 
We want a change from the fields and the skies 
And crave some dots or some lines 

We were like interlocking pieces 
In the Jigsaw Puzzle of Life
