Scarecrow's Dream

Seldom seen A scarecrow's dream I hang in the hopes of replacement Castles tall I built them all But I dream that I'm trapped in The basement. And if you ever hear me calling out And if you've been by paupers crowned Between the worlds of men and Make-believe I can be found. Plans I've made A masquerade Fading in fear of the coming day Heroes' tales Like nightingales Wrestle the wind as they run away. And if you ever hear them calling out And if you've been by paupers crowned Between the worlds of men and make- Believe I can be found. Garden gate An empty plate Waiting for someone to come and fill Scarecrow's dreams Like frozen streams Thirst for the fall But they're running still. And if you ever hear me calling out And if you've been by paupers crowned Between the worlds of men and Make-believe I can be found. --- Scarecrow's Dream - Dan Fogelberg
