I weep under the willow
And the willow weeps with me
I use its roots for my pillow
And it cradles me to sleep.
Please protect me lovely branches
And hold me in your arms
Cradle me as the wind dances
To keep me safe and warm.
Please hold me tight till daybreak
So I can dream all night long
Dry my tears as I cry and shake
And sing me your sweet song
Let my sorrows blow away
Like your leaves with the wind
Wherever they land may they stay
To never come around again.
