Scarecrow (feat. Rufus Wainwright) Lyrics

Kristian Hoffman Scarecrow (feat. Rufus Wainwright)

Scarecrow - in the Wyoming winter dawn
Scarecrow - that silhouette I chanced upon
Fashioned with such flair, I'm sure we met somewhere
Scarecrow, I know you

Scarecrow - can it be who you longed to kiss
Scarecrow - that left you hanging here like this?
Or who you'd yet to hold, in dreams you left untold?
Scarecrow, they're mine too. Scarecrow, I know you

What penalty must we perform
For craving someone warm, somewhere upon this chilly planet?
A rifle butt against the head
Because we'd heard it said
That only God can make a man. It's true
But only man can make a scarecrow out of you
And only man can make a God who might approve

Scarecrow - those who seek metaphor compare
Scarecrow - that other man left hanging there
But it seems to me that comes too easily
Scarecrow, this much is true. Scarecrow, I know you. Why, oh why Wyoming? Why, oh why Wyoming?
If we only had a heart. If we only had a brain. If we only had a chance again
Just a little chance again
