Where Have All The Children Gone Lyrics - Joseph Kerschbaum

The creaking silence of age 

Echoes through the streets 

Sounds like old wooden floors under heavy feet 

All of the children once running around have evacuated 

Or maybe they just disappeared 

Where have all the children gone? 

Just yesterday they were tying ribbons in trees 

And swinging from the branches 

They were leaping over coals and swooning at anything 

Where have all the children gone?

Those of us who remain 

Wander around like abandoned children in shopping malls 

Where have all the children gone? 

Maybe this is just a dream 

Maybe we are sleeping in rooms filled with metal shelves 

If we put our ears to those shelves 

They will tell us stories of how they were emptied 

Emptied by the fingers of fathers 

Emptied into the flesh of their sons and daughters 

Where have all the children gone?
