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

No longer sown by anyone 

Sad, so sad 
Sad, so sad
