Scarecrow Lyrics

Warmer skies promise to

Tell me my future

The clouds race ahead

And the mist slips through my fingers

Here in the light of this

Leftover sun

Your memory takes my hand and to

Eternity we run

Over these fields in which I've

Sowed all my secrets

Tend to this garden

I pray to God I'll keep it

There in the distance

Beyond the long-shadowed scarecrow

Birds peck half-buried seeds

It's no wonder nothing grows

Oh, they ask me where the time goes

But I don't know

I spend it in the meadows

I feel you here in heart and

Spirit, and if I listen through

The wind, your voice I swear

I almost hear it

In dried-up grass

The remnants of your laugh

Takes its place among the fallen

But spring is coming, I can taste the pollen

And every year this season's depression

Burrows deep within my chest

But winter changes just like

All the rest
