Willow Tree

Innocent as first light of the morning
We swore our hearts together with a kiss
And you were down on bended knee and underneath that willow tree
I was delivered from my loneliness

Eager as the summer buds the flower
We planned and dreamed of seasons still to come
And nearby to that willow tree we raised ourselves a family
Years flew by but days went on and on

I was born underneath the weeping willow tree
That is where I swore my love to thee
I was born underneath the weeping willow tree
The only thing I know for certain is one day I'll be free

Sudden as a cold front in September
A sleep came on from which you did not wake
I laid your body finally beneath that weeping willow tree
In my dreams I reach out for your face

I was born underneath the weeping willow tree
That is where I swore my love to thee
I was born underneath the weeping willow tree
The only thing I know for certain is one day I'll be free
