lyrics

Golden Trees – Mark Bishop Evans – 8081119

In fertile fields of waving corn stocks a battered scarecrow stands alone
Guarding acres for his master who’s not home
Day after day he keeps on standing, gently swaying in the breeze
Someone please go tell the master won’t you…

Chorus

Please hear the song of my swaying. Please hear the cry from the land
Please hear that Mother Earth is dying. Dying to have someone understand.

The scarecrows clothes are growing ragged. His straw is falling to the ground
And as his life falls out his shirtsleeves landing all around
The crows are circling high above him. Busy casing just like thieves
Someone please go find the master won’t you…

Chorus

The scarecrows legs are growing weaker, a gust of wind has blown him down
Now he’s lying near his mother, the long past fertile ground.
The birds flew down to take their vengeance, beating down the golden trees
Still from the distance comes a whisper asking…

Chorus
