lyrics

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 now picked by all
The silent willow stood in awe awe awe

Her beauty reigned through summer days
Linton 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 his sun
He stretched his arms and so did she
Longing for a breeze that would never leave

He was jealous of that vine up on the wall
On the shadows of his lover’s 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 his 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
