The Scarecrow

By Midnight Phoenix

A man who watches is what I am
Staring in the distance, so convincing
Waiting alone as the sun falls

A field of emptiness is what I see
Staring in the distance, so convincing
Waiting alone as the moon calls

What we see is what we seem to be
A thousand mirrors in our life
But can we hope for something, a dream
A thousand voices speak tonight
