Текст песни The Last Scarecrow - Steve Slagg

The last scarecrow has the reins
Watching over what remains
Kin to Jesus and John Wayne
Handsome as Hud Bannon in the frame

High drifter drifting by
Separating Earth and sky
Palomino 'tween his thighs
High plains kisser whistling by

He knows his face
Has one more decade left of grace
He could've made it last
He could've claimed the past

He knows he's bound
By agreement with the ground
He feels most powerful when
He forgets the whole plan

This whole world makes me swoon
Come and hold me while I croon
Underneath a harvest moon
This here disenchanted world makes me swoon

We'll be delta soon enough
The silt of all the human stuff
Call out from the bluffs
"We'll be Mississippi Delta soon enough"

Loving you is a breeze
When you bring me to my knees
It's a movement I
Have come to rely on

Let the scarecrow ride
Until the rest of us have died
So pale, so fine
Til the credits unwind

He'll ride til all
The last blackbirds fall
He won't hear the call

He'll ride til all
The last blacklands sprawl
He won't hear the call

We'll gaze in thrall
Until the last Black Elk brawl
We won't fear the call

He'll ride til all
The last blackbirds fall
He won't hear the call
