The Scarecrow - Guitar and vocal, Original song

The Scarecrow
Written and performed by
Dan D. Dirges
Stumming acoustic guitar and vocal
Murder ballad

Alas! Forsaken! and scorned!
I watched as she did go, angels don`t go turning away
For another she did fall, I turned to the wall, a burning rage but nothing did I say
Then a shot rang out in the dark, straight thru my lovers heart, buzzards fly over fields where she lay

And the scarecrow stands in the field, staring back at me

I buried her out upon the hill, on a cool midnight chill, a full moon hung low in the sky
The scarecrow stands in the night, with a strange look in its eye, it`s haunting me and I don`t know why
The screws are tightening in my head, man sometimes I wish I was dead, that thing out there is full of lies

And the scarecrow stands in the field, staring back at me

For ashamed! Shamed am I!
Tears fall from the sky, it`s raining down over fields where she lay
Guilt untold rattles my bones, here alone it tortures my soul, Lord I hope some healing`s on it`s way
I lit that damn thing on fire, sent my flesh thru barbed wire and ran off to them hills to pray
And watch the scarecrow burn in the night, I`m gonna watch you die
