(Verse One)

Standing out in the field was a scarecrow
Built with hay sticks and wearing a hat
The scarecrow has an unbuttoned shirt on
Pants where the pockets are packed
With hay that's falling to the ground
And the shoes are also packed with hay
And for years it's been out there
Now it's slowly withering away

(Verse Two)

There used to be only one
Now it's everywhere
Now wherever you go
It's guaranteed you'll see one
They are believed to protect crops
But I don't understand why
Because for centuries they've been out there
Just all slowly withering away

(Verse Three)

Standing out here in the field
Is the half of a scarecrow
It withered way too much
Now it's broke on the ground
The hat flew away
Couldn't take the hit
Now that it's here now
It withered away
(Verse Four)

I went out this morning
To clean up all the hay
Because it serves no more purpose
Now that the scarecrow withered away
Now there's nothing left
Just the memory of it there
Crows now flock to the area
Because the scarecrow withered away

(Breakdown)

Now that the scarecrow withered away
This place is now the home of crows
It is gone now and that's why
This place is filled with crows

(Outro)

Because every single scarecrow
Has their own time
That they will
Wither away
Because every scarecrow
Has their own time
Counting down their
Expiration date
And when it comes
They will break
Because when it's their time
They will wither away
