VERSE |
|
Oh Lord, why did you send the darkness to me? |
|
Are the shadows forever to be? |
|
Where's the light I'm longing to see? |
|
Oh Lord, once we met by the old willow tree, |
|
Now you've gone and left nothing to me, |
|
Nothing but a sweet memory. |
|
Willow weep for me, |
|
Willow weep for me, |
|
Bend your branches green, |
|
Along the stream that runs to sea, |
|
Listen to my plea, |
|
Listen willow and weep for me. |
|
Gone my lover's dream, |
|
Lovely summer dream, |
|
Gone and left me here |
|
To weep my tears into the stream, |
|
Sad as I can be, |
|
Hear me, willow, and weep for me. |
|
BRIDGE |
|
Whisper to the wind |
|
And say that love has sinned, |
|
To leave my heart breakin' |
|
And makin' a moan, |
|
Murmur to the night, |
|
To hide the starry light, |
|
So none will find me sighing |
|
And crying all a-lone. |
|
Oh, weeping willow tree, |
|
Weep in sympathy, |
|
Bend your branches down |
|
Along the ground and cover me, |
|
When the shadows fall, |
|
Bend, oh willow, and weep for me |
