Scarecrow Songtext
von Eddi Reader

Oh, scarecrow, wherever you go
You′re only bringing sorrow
Oh, scarecrow, wherever you go
You're only bringing sorrow
Sorrow for the ones you left behind
Sorrow for the ones who go
Sorrow for the ones who change their mind
′Cause they'll never know
No, they'll never know

You start out wanting life
But you get hurried
You start out wanting love
But you get worried


Oh, scarecrow, wherever you go
You′re only bringing sorrow
Oh, scarecrow, wherever you go
You′re only bringing sorrow
Sorrow for the ones who steal the sun
Sorrow for the ones who go
Sorrow for the flowers and the guns
'Cause they never know
No, they never know

At water′s edge, your drunken horse
How sad and strange to watch him waiting

We're watching from a high wire
Birds watching from a high wire
We′re watching you
(We're watching you)
Oh, we′re watching you

You start out wanting life
But you get hurried
You start out wanting love
You get worried

Oh, scarecrow, wherever you go
You're only bringing sorrow
Oh, scarecrow
Oh, scarecrow, wherever you go
You're only bringing sorrow
