Scarecrow Heart by Pat Orchard Lyrics

Here i stand high on the brow
Protecting land turned by the plough
The scattered seed black with the crows
The driven rain on an east wind blows

Arms outstretched empty and torn
The hollow man waits for the dawn
And all the straw lain at my feet
Was once my heart that fell from my sleeve
But time is the giver
The taker and the thief
Times the colours
Falling with the leaves

And is there someone out there
With some love they could share
To mend this scarecrows heart
For with each lonely day
I start to decay
I feel like i'm falling apart
Is there someone out there
With some love they can share
And i have watched the thistles and the thorns
Devour the names on a church yards fallen stones
The weather vane once free in the wind
Now stuck fast with the rust in it's hinge

And time are the hands
Waving from the dial
And time is the crying
Of a new-born child

And is there someone out there
With some love they could share
To mend this scarecrows heart
For with each lonely day
I start to decay
I feel like i'm falling apart
Is there someone out there
With some love
They can share
With a scarecrow heart
With a scarecrow heart
