I used to know this old scarecrow
 My joy and sorrow
 Cast alone between the furrows
 No longer sown by anyone

Sad, so sad
 Sad, so sad

Beneath these branches
 I once wrote such childish words for you
 I held a dandelion
 When summer burned the earth again

Sad, so sad
 Sad, so sad
 Sad, so sad
 Sad, so sad

No longer sown by anyone

Sad, so sad
 Sad, so sad
 Sad, so sad
 Sad, so sad
 Sad, so sad
 Sad, so sad
 Sad
