Scarecrow

(verse 1) It’s raining blood I’m rich and poor I’m strong and weak Under scarlet skies that weep (verse 2) It’s raining blood On the cobblestones here Where Mary used to walk Among shadows in the cornstalk (chorus) See the scarecrow there With the black crows at its eyes See the scarecrow there And the pumpkins by and by That’s not Mary there There by the face That watches from the eyes The eyes of the scarecrow By and by (verse 3) It’s raining blood while the village rests at dusk I stay by the well The well where Mary fell (chorus) See the scarecrow there With the black crows at its eyes See the scarecrow there And the pumpkins by and by That’s not Mary there There by the face That watches from the eyes The eyes of the scarecrow By and by (bridge) And it’s sad That all these faces Are the scarecrow’s faces The ones that haunt my dreams Mary, Mary, I see you There by the dancing willows There by the silent bank Mary, Mary that I know (chorus) See the scarecrow there With the black crows at its eyes See the scarecrow there And the pumpkins by and by That’s not Mary there There by the face That watches from the eyes The eyes of the scarecrow By and by (end)
