Ivory Owl Stories

(Scarecrow)

Go on black bird go on fly I’m not hearing your alibi

You already picked my harvest clean

So go just go get out of here

(Scarecrow)

Listen you deceiver I’m not scared

It took me awhile to know what’s going on here

Now on your shoulder I will take my throne

As I look out on this farm and call it my own

(Both)

And I hope this wind will take you away for I am not leaving here today

(Scarecrow)

If these arms could move I would strike you down

There would be feathers and blood all on the ground

You see I once stood so tall and fierce

As you laugh your laugh you continue to appear

(Blackbird)

You continued to fool me for many days

But the hunger it drove me to my ways

With a belly full and a wings that will not fly

I’ll burrow in your chest and give you a heart

(Both)

And I hope this wind will take you away for I am not leaving here today

(Both)

Then came the fire late one night

(Scarecrow)

I was doing my jobI never close my eyes

(Blackbird)

I was asleep in the nest for I had become your soul

(Scarecrow)

When the fire took me

(Both)

it took us both

I hope this wind will take you away for I am not leaving here today

and this flame it burns but I’m so satisfied knowing that beside me  you will die
