You'll Be The Scarecrow
E Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One day I'll have to fly
To the next great unknown
One day I'll be outta here
Back on my own

And when I come around for my goodbyes
You'll be the scarecrow
You'll be the scarecrow
The one I adore

The one I carry with me
Forever more
You were the special one
Something we shared

The one that I'll miss the most
The one who cared
So when I come around for my goodbyes
You'll be the scarecrow

You'll be the scarecrow
The one I adore
The one I carry with me
Forever more

There may not be a day
For a due reunion
There may not be a day
For us

One day you'll look and see
A purple sunset
And then you'll know that I'm okay
I'm doing my best

And when I come around for my goodbyes
You'll be the scarecrow
You'll be the scarecrow
The one I adore

You'll be the scarecrow
The one I miss most




And when I come around for my goodbyes
You'll be the scarecrow
