Sad Scarecrow Blues

I woke up in the valley, redstone and black crow meadow
I woke up in the valley, scarecrow and green-grass meadow
With the shine across the shimmer
my love came stalkin’
countin’, talkin’
dancin’
all about
 
She walked up to Scarecrow, askin’ why he hung around there?
She talked up to Scarecrow, askin’, why he hung around here?
His eyes deeply detailed and answer calm:
Baby, it’s just what the kids do around here
at Dawn
 
The sky is empty seas, pair of sapphire blue eyes
The sky is empty seas, pairs of sapphire blue eyes
Those who think they know
Please don’t tell me
what is says on your phone
pass by,
go back to school
and leave, leave, leave me all alone
 
Woman in the high grass, in shimmering dress of Gold
Woman of the High Class, walkin’ sidewalks on delicate toe
Honey, you look so damn good,
but truth be told,
you dress for Summer all day
and its 32 degrees cold
 
Insane in the caves by the black crow meadow, talkin’ to someone who isn’t there
Decency in the high hill frontiers, checking hairs inside the camera mirrors
A dead crow is stepped over
by the blue eyed
white skinned
fat faced
all knowing millennial Reindeers
 
The meadow is completely found, what else is there to know?
Meadow completely known, no shadows, all has been shown
What hasn’t been done by someone?
Experience sequence and put down Dylan from the shelf
Don’t think
and quote Yourself
 
A storm cloud approachin’ the meadow, you kids better run
Storm clouds in the meadow, you kids better run
All your plans my son,
by the beach,
in the streets,
all your parent’s teach
do not scare or amuse the rays of the Sun
 
In the meadow valley at Dawn, I think I know it all
In the early light of the meadow, I know I know it all
The writin’s on the wall:
pure, clear,
reflectin’ that my hands and body
mind and soul
stitched tight and raw
is made of straw
