Autumn - The Scarecrow lyrics

It took heart to stay and share a life In return I pledged to keep an eye On the ravens on the wire On the serpents in the mire We were lovers you and I We loved and time went by Eyes are beads and feet are clay You would not be scared away Fireflies and satellites In the dead of night When you warned me "There's a snake nearby." Arms like sticks and hands of hay Failed us when you slipped away Now I'm sad to be alive And I urge the sands of time Send your last remaining grains Bleeding from my strawy veins
