Scarecrow

After how many more time the meaning will be clear?
In the sky a plane left its tracks on a white cloud
If I could fly freely like that too who will be the next one?
That's not possible...

Scarecrow, even if whipped by the wind
Scarecrow, even if struck by the rain
Scarecrow, even if my colors are fading
Scarecrow, I'll still be here, right?

If you leave something here, here it'll stay
I will protect it so that nobody will steal it
"Things with no shape remain in memory better"
You said that and I know it well
Everytime I close my eyes I can see your smile

Scarecrow, even if whipped by the wind
Scarecrow, even if struck by the rain
Scarecrow, even if my colors are fading
Scarecrow, I'll still be here, right?

Scarecrow, the cherry blossoms open and fall
Scarecrow, lighted by the sun
Scarecrow, surrounded by fallen leaves
Scarecrow, even covered in snow

Scarecrow, even if whipped by the wind
Scarecrow, even if struck by the rain
Scarecrow, even if my colors are fading
Scarecrow, I'll still be here, right?

So that you won't get lost, so that you will find me easily
So that you'll never be lonely
I'll be there.

Scarecrow - Nishikido Ryo. Respectfully taken from here. I don't know why, but the first time I heard the song, it kinda struck me. And then I googled the lyric translation. And it hit me again for the second time.

Wonder why.
