lyrics

the scarecrow and the raven
(linja meller)

i see an old man standing in a garden
no he’s just a weird folk stuck in the ground
tell me melon man, what you’re staying here for
tell me scarecrow, why do you exist

stop scoffing bird and look
it’s me just me who took
as fairytales their lives, so preciously
i need them to see
and they need me to be
a story needs a teller, certainly

i’m sorry to offend you, but could you tell me why
you let them move on while you are standing by
you carry their burden, which stories you call
your absence of motion is use for them all

stupid bird, why won’t you
understand, i told you
that’s my role to play, isn’t it
i’m their guardian of mind
i make them see when they’re blind
i’m stayin‘, that’s it, isn’t it

if you stayed here, we could be together dear
if you stayed here, we could be together dear

crow are you scared?
the scarecrow will do
grin upon your story, don’t move, just for you
crow are you scared?
the scarecrow will do
grin upon your story, don’t move,
just for you, just for you, one move just for you, just for you

i’m the one who catches people that did fall
and you’re the one who listens to the ones that did call
we’re both part of the garden and the garden, that’s life
do you mind if i stay for you stand and i fly

dark bird may stay
one flower for each day
one story for each crow,
one grin for each blow

if you stayed here, we could be together dear

scarecrows grin, they never cry

crow are you scared?
the scarecrow will do
grin upon your story, don’t move, just for you
crow are you scared?
the scarecrow will do
grin upon your story, don’t move,
just for you, just for you, one move just for you, just for you

we’re both stuck
through bones or mind
and everyone here
gets out alive
