Scarecrow lyrics - Delta Spirit

Oh, scarecrow

You know why I'm asleep?

All the weight you bear you cannot carry

You know you're just like you're mother

And your bag all packed to go

And you hid your heart from everyone you know

You say you'd never love another

Unless they bore your own name

Oh, your kin, they trample on you just the same

Oh, I gave my love to a harlot I'm told

And the blackness of a scarecrow no one knows

Well, I'm red in the blood that I have drained

That I wasted in a rain

Well, your love that takes your picture

And your love that worships

Well, if you can't see it then soon you will

And you frequent the same strip club

You love to watch the ladies dance

Well, you always know I don't do shit like that

While I was out in Scotland

You were out with him

And you took your shot and you threw up your limbs

Well, I gave my love to a harlot I'm told

And the blackness of a scarecrow you cannot hold

Well, I'm red in the blood that I have drained

That I wasted in a rain

Well, you deserve applause for splitting me into

Well, I count you on the list of a mortal few

Well, I hope that you were happy

I could only wish you the best

But your beauty vacant setting in the west

And this may just say redundant

Because you've chosen your own fate

Was I more to you than just a pretty face?

Well, I'll give my love to a harlot, I will

And the blackness of a scarecrow you cannot kill

Well, I'm red in the blood that I have drained

That I wasted waiting for rain
