Curtains Lyrics by Elton John
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh....

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

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh..
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       Oh oh oh, oh oh oh....       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       Oh oh oh, oh oh oh..
