lyrics

Death took him away
He’s hanging his feet in the air
The scarecrow that keeps the birds
From lighting the sky

He used to love a woman, she used to love him too
But the rain fell on their love and spread the rust on the dew
They could not spread their arms to hold each other tight
And the rain on the grass made growing way too hard

Death took him away
He’s hanging his feet in the air
The scarecrow that keeps the birds
From lighting the sky

They could not understand nor could stand each other
And the children became a reason to fight in anger
The children they became what they did fight for
The way to keep the other close at end of a rope

Death took him away
He’s hanging his feet in the air
The scarecrow that keeps the birds
From lighting the sky

Once after a big fight, she drove away in the night
Her children in the backseat and the headlight on the road
But when she arrived at her mother’s side
It’s his head she saw waiting for them in in the light

Death took him away
He’s hanging his feet in the air
The scarecrow that keeps the birds
From lighting the sky

He did not say a word and walked to the children
It’s not for her he came, he could not let them to her
He took his 45 and shot them in the head
If they couldn’t be his, they could not be hers either

Death took him away
He’s hanging his feet in the air
The scarecrow that keeps the birds
From lighting the sky

She was too shaken to scream, he drove away in his car
Let her alone to her quakes and stopped somewhere in the dark
He found the highest tree and climbed to the highest branch
Hanged himself by the feet, waited for the blood to go down

Death took him away
He’s hanging his feet in the air
The scarecrow that keeps the birds
From lighting the sky
