Hymn For A Scarecrow

You hang around for a living

Somewhere between all the land & the sky

Being by never forgiving

Nobody knows you and neither do I

Birds may believe at a distance

You wear a grin and keep perfectly still

Driven away with persistence

I wonder if they have wondered or will ever wonder

Ever wonder

Farmer jim hums when he's all alone

He may imagine you heard and he knew

You wouldn't hear what he might have known

I wonder whether he wonders if you ever wonder

Ever wonder

Oh

Scarecrow

Maybe the wind knows

Whether you wonder

Who's calling your name

Scarecrow

Maybe the wind knows

Whether you wonder

If you are to blame

Mother earth's love whispered to me (and it wasn't her fault)

Real is a feeling and feeling is real

All of you are flowing through me

But you wouldn't know how to fathom or feel

When the wind blows

The wind knows

The wind knows

Oh

Scarecrow

Maybe the wind knows

Whether you wonder

Who's calling your name

Shame how nobody knows you

Only who wonders if you are to blame

Saving the grain of your golden domain

Without even reasoning why

The crows seem to know where you need them to go

Igniting a spark in their minds so they circle and fly

Fly

You hang around for a living

Blown in the wind like a pinned butterfly

Monarch of ever forgiving

Some of us wonder if you want to die

Would you want to die?

How I wonder

Ever wonder

(The wind knows)
