Lyrics

Unofficial lyrics, as transcribed by the fans.

You hang around for a living
Somewhere between all the land and the sky
Being by never forgiving
Nobody knows you and neither do I

Birds may believe at a distance
You wear a grin and keep perfectly still
Driven away with persistence
I wonder if they have wondered
Or will ever wonder, ever wonder

Farmer Jim hums when he's all alone
He may imagine you heard him, he knew
You wouldn't hear what he might know
I wonder whether he wonders
If you ever wonder, ever wonder

Oh scarecrow, only the wind knows
Whether you wonder who's calling your name
Scarecrow, only the wind knows
Whether you wonder if you are to blame

Mother Earth's love whispered to me (It wasn't her fault)
Real is a feeling and feeling is real
All that you are flowing through you
You wouldn't know how to fathom or feel
When the wind blows
The wind knows, the wind knows

Oh scarecrow, only the wind knows
Whether you wonder who's calling your name
Shame how nobody knows you
Who wonders if you are to blame

Seizing the grain(?) in your fingertips(?) (you're going nowhere)(?)
Without even reasoning why
The crows seem to know
Where you need them to go
Igniting a spark in their minds
So they circle and fly...

Fly. Fly. Fly. Fly...
 
You hang around for a living
Blown in the wind
Like a pinned butterfly
Monarch of ever forgiving
Some of us wonder
If you want to die

Would you want to die?
How I wonder, ever wonder...
(The wind knows, the wind knows...)
