Lyrics
Scarecrow Bones
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Turns out that
Spark I thought I saw
In your eye
Was just a
Glass shard
Catching the light
I thought you were whole
But I look closer, closer
Your smile is seashells shattered on the shore
Your skin is ashes scattered
Your eyes are mirrors showered in bad light
Your hands how they are splintered
Gather up my fallen timbers
And right my scarecrow bones
Will you stay with me and watch the flowers grow?
I thought you were whole
But I look closer, closer
I am broken
But I still function
Well enough
As it turns out
The spark I thought I saw
Was nothing but glass shards catching light
