Willow

Weeping willow in the yard Rooted deep, he felt so far From his love across the garden There were apples falling from her arms Rosy greens, not big by all The silent willow stood in awe, oh oh Her beauty reigned through summer days Lent in nights, Cambridge haze The winter willing, he felt her glow, glow, glow Struck by a warmth he'd never known He waited long for the wind to come Tired arms from reaching towards the sun He stretched his arms and so did she Longing for a breeze that would never leave, oh He was jealous of that fern up on the wall On the shadows of his lovers arms, willow He fought to grow, grow, grow He sought the love he'd never known Now, he waited long for the rain to fall Tired arms from reaching towards the sun He stretched his roots and so did she Longing for the day they'd finally meet Oh, they were longing for the day their love could be, oh
