I used to know this old scarecrow
He was my song
My joy and sorrow,
Cast alone between the furrows
Of a field no longer sown by anyone.
I held a dandelion
That said the time had come
To leave upon the wind
Not to return,
When summer burned the earth again.
Cultivate the freshest flower
This garden ever grew,
Beneath these branches
I once wrote such childish words for you.
But that's okay.
There's treasure children always seek to find,
And just like us
You must have had
A Once Upon A Time
from the 1975 album "Captain Fantastic & The Brown Dirt Cowboy"
lyrics by Bernie Taupin music by Elton John
"And in my hour of darkness,
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, Let It Be
Let It Be, Let It Be, Let It Be, Let It Be
Whisper words of wisdom, Let It Be...
And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow, Let It Be
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, Let It Be..."
