Lyrics Hymn for a Scarecrow - Tally Hall

Hymn for a Scarecrow

You hang around for a living
Somewhere between all the land and 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, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, 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 wanna die
Would you wanna die?
How I wonder
Ever wonder, ever wonder, ever wonder, ever wonder, ever wonder, ever wonder,
ever wonder, ever wonder, ever wonder, ever wonder, ever wonder, ever wonder,
ever wonder, ever wonder, ever wonder
(The wind knows, the wind knows, the wind knows, the wind knows, the wind knows,
the wind knows, the wind knows, the wind knows, the wind knows, the wind knows,
the wind knows, the wind knows, the wind knows, the wind knows, the wind knows,
the wind knows, the wind knows, the wind knows, the wind knows, the wind knows,
the wind knows, the wind knows)
