The willow lyrics

I understand why the willow cries

He is the saddest of the trees

None lend a hand for to dry his eyes

Tears only fall into the breeze

And though he stands in silence like a lover's martyrdom

His arms are ever reaching for the touch of anyone

But I understand why the willow cries

I hear the same thing on the breeze

Words that are whispered to somebody loved

Words that would give no guarantees

No woooooohhhhh

No woooooohhhhh

In moments where the sky becomes the world's philosophy

The willow weeps in silence, he is crying just like me

But I understand why the willow cries

Fated to live a life alone

He is a poet whose words go unheard

He's all alone
