Rustic Overtones - Scarecrow lyrics

Hundred miles away, memories stay That covered bridge where our names are still engraved You turned to go; I turned to leave Then you turned to go, and I turned to leaves In the cool shade of a sycamore tree, I paint a perfect portrait of how it used to be When I'm alone my mind it slows You can paint a smiling face on a scarecrow But I know myself, I can't be like that I can't help myself, I will always cry Keep my frown in a jar on a shelf Put on my favorite smile So far away, in my high state In my head, it's all I want to think about But I stop instead, I got to learn to live without It'll be easier in the end When I thought I lost another I can learn to lose a friend But I know myself, I can't be like that I can't help myself, I will always cry Keep my frown in a jar on a shelf Put on my favorite smile So far away, in my high state Under a stone in the back, I've grown a flower for you, dear A flower that's so beautiful it may now be flying up here I water it every day and I rip out every weed How could I just let it wilt, but it will for just a seed But I know myself, I can't be like that I can't help myself, I will always cry Keep my frown in a jar on a shelf Put on my favorite smile So far away, in my high state
