lyrics

Just a scarecrow man is what I am,
Just sallow, skin and bones
Just a scarecrow man drifting in the wind
Scaring off the crows

Could you learn to love a scarecrow man?
Could you want his heart of straw?
Well I wish to cause no tear or fear
But you have his heart and more

Well I lost my hat to the wind today
And a crow landed on me
Well what's the point of a man of straw
If he can't scare a crow no more?

As you walked across the field today
Your eyes they followed me
Your heart was smote and so is mine
Your eyes were with pity

Could you learn to love a scarecrow man?
Could you want his heart of straw?
Well I wish to cause no tear or fear
But you have his heart and more

And if I had a mouth I'd sing your praise
All the night and day
But you'll never be content with me
So a scarecrow I will stay

Oh, could you learn to love a scarecrow man?
Could you want his heart of straw?
Well I wish to cause no tear or fear
But you have his heart and more

And if I had a mouth I'd sing your praise
All the night and day
But you'll never be content with me
So a scarecrow I will stay

A scarecrow I will stay
