you'll be the scarecrow

Singer:eels

one day i'll have to fly

to the next great unknown

one day i'll be out of here

back on my own

and when i come around for my goodbyes

you'll be the scarecrow

you'll be the scarecrow

the one i adore

the one i'll carry with me

forevermore

you were the special one

something we shared

the one that i'll miss the most

the one who cared

so when i come around for my goodbyes

you'll be the scarecrow

you'll be the scarecrow

the one i adore

the one i'll carry with me

forevermore

there may not be a day

for a due reunion

there may not be a day

for us

one day you'll look and see

a purple sunset

and then you'll know that i'm okay

i'm doing my best

and when i come around for my goodbyes

you'll be the scarecrow
