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
