Scarecrow by EmiSunshine Lyrics
Whispers say: “We ain’t seen Clay
At the bar or any church service.”
She spins her tales like a web on a wheel
Of him old and becoming a hermit
“Can’t you see him there now so tall and so proud
Does he wave at you from the window?”
But at night in her bed, her fear and her dread
Tell the truth of the lies she has sewn
[Chorus]
Wedding Bells and Shotgun Shells
Thought she found heaven but he gave her hell
Now his body lies at the bottom of the well
‘Thou shalt not kill’, she’s a fallen angel
Ooooh, She keeps a scarecrow in the window in her house on the hill
He was ‘sposed to be the man of her dreams
But when he’d get drunk he’d get mean
He’d call her name and raise his hand to her
In this town of gossip and rumor
There’s only so much a body can take
And the shotgun was way too close to her
In her tiny hands, it rang as she ran
Just a wishin’ that she’d done it sooner
[Chorus]
Wedding Bells and Shotgun Shells
Thought she found heaven but he gave her hell
Now his body lies at the bottom of the well
‘Thou shalt not kill’, she’s a fallen angel
Ooooh, She keeps a scarecrow in the window in her house on the hill
With blood on her hands she dropped that man
Down the hole and into the water
With burlap and straw, her new love is strong
As he looks through the glass and he guards her
[Chorus]
Wedding Bells and Shotgun Shells
Thought she found heaven but he gave her hell
Now his body lies at the bottom of the well
‘Thou shalt not kill’, she’s a fallen angel
Ooooh, She keeps a scarecrow in the window in her house on the hill
Ooooh, She keeps a scarecrow in the window in her house on the hill
At the bar or any church service.”
She spins her tales like a web on a wheel
Of him old and becoming a hermit
“Can’t you see him there now so tall and so proud
Does he wave at you from the window?”
But at night in her bed, her fear and her dread
Tell the truth of the lies she has sewn
[Chorus]
Wedding Bells and Shotgun Shells
Thought she found heaven but he gave her hell
Now his body lies at the bottom of the well
‘Thou shalt not kill’, she’s a fallen angel
Ooooh, She keeps a scarecrow in the window in her house on the hill
He was ‘sposed to be the man of her dreams
But when he’d get drunk he’d get mean
He’d call her name and raise his hand to her
In this town of gossip and rumor
There’s only so much a body can take
And the shotgun was way too close to her
In her tiny hands, it rang as she ran
Just a wishin’ that she’d done it sooner
[Chorus]
Wedding Bells and Shotgun Shells
Thought she found heaven but he gave her hell
Now his body lies at the bottom of the well
‘Thou shalt not kill’, she’s a fallen angel
Ooooh, She keeps a scarecrow in the window in her house on the hill
With blood on her hands she dropped that man
Down the hole and into the water
With burlap and straw, her new love is strong
As he looks through the glass and he guards her
[Chorus]
Wedding Bells and Shotgun Shells
Thought she found heaven but he gave her hell
Now his body lies at the bottom of the well
‘Thou shalt not kill’, she’s a fallen angel
Ooooh, She keeps a scarecrow in the window in her house on the hill
Ooooh, She keeps a scarecrow in the window in her house on the hill
