|
I used to know this old scarecrow
|
He was my song
|
My joy and sorrow
|
Cast alone between the furrows
|
Of a field no longer sown by anyone
|
|
I held a dandelion
|
That said the time had come
|
To leave upon the wind
|
Not to return
|
When summer burned the earth again
|
|
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh...
|
|
Cultivate the freshest flower
|
This garden ever grew
|
Beneath these branches
|
I once wrote such childish words for you
|
|
But that's okay
|
There's treasure children always seek to find
|
And just like us
|
You must have had
|
A once upon a time
|
