lyrics

SCARECROW HEART words & music: bill mallonee BMI 2016
before you awake...before you come to
before you get your bearings...in this room
brush off the dust, kick off the mud
breath in the fresh air...after the flood

chorus:
they take it piece by piece
till they've stolen every part
and what you get to hold onto
is a scarecrow heart

now all the guages are rusted; the instrumenets are wrecked
the calibrations and measurements are equally suspect
to navigate the sad terrain; where one must bear witness
and listen to the slow dark train...whistlin' in the distance

and youth always sees it...coming way in advance
just when you learn your steps, they've call a diffence dance
before you awake...before you come to
before you get your bearings...in this room
