[Verse]
I used to know this old scarecrow
He was my song
My joy and sorrow
Cast alone between the furrows
Of a field no longer sown by anyone
I held a dandelion
That said the time had come
To leave upon the wind
Not to return
When summer burned the earth again
Oh...
Oh...

[Chorus]
Cultivate the freshest flower
This garden ever grew
Beneath these branches
I once wrote such childish words for you
But that's okay
There's treasure children always seek to find
And just like us
You must have had
A once upon a time

[Outro]
Oh...
Oh...
Oh...
Oh...
Oh...
Oh...
Oh...
Oh...
Oh... (lovely, lovely, ay-oh, lovely, lovely, ay-oh)
Oh... (lovely, lovely, ay-oh, lovely, lovely, ay-oh)
Oh... (lovely, lovely, ay-oh, lovely, lovely, ay-oh)
Oh... (lovely, lovely, ay-oh, lovely, lovely, ay-oh)
Oh... (lovely, lovely, ay-oh, lovely, lovely, ay-oh)
Oh... (lovely, lovely, ay-oh, lovely, lovely, ay-oh)
Oh... (lovely, lovely, ay-oh, lovely, lovely, ay-oh)
Oh... (lovely, lovely, ay-oh, lovely, lovely, ay-oh)
