Underneath your branches I have spent so many hours
Looking at the sky, wondering why the trees are towers
The photos in my pocket are pictures of the past
A slim reminder of the rain that's hidden in the grass
Looking at the sky, wondering why the trees are towers
The photos in my pocket are pictures of the past
A slim reminder of the rain that's hidden in the grass
chorus:
And I can see, I can see the things I want to be
And cry willow, cry willow, cry
And cry willow, cry willow, cry
Bend your branches and defy the cloudless sky
And cry willow, cry willow, cry
And cry willow, cry willow, cry
And cry willow, cry willow, cry
Bend your branches and defy the cloudless sky
And cry willow, cry willow, cry
Now I stand and watch the geese as they go South
Watch a while, willow as they fly o'er our house
I understand now fully well, the words are in my mouth
So put me on the goose's back and let us all fly South
Watch a while, willow as they fly o'er our house
I understand now fully well, the words are in my mouth
So put me on the goose's back and let us all fly South
(repeat chorus)
