Dan Fogelberg

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.
