Willow

3 o'clock headache hung like cobwebs in my brain Dusty like the leaves on my doorstep Autumn threw them away I'm so brittle I'd break if I bend But if I was a willow I'd sway in the wind Another desperate phone call, flat and cold against my face An icy wind knocks at the window You say I'd be warm if I'd stayed But I'm like the seasons always coming around Oh if I was a willow I'd stand my ground Don't go thinking this is easy for me I never wanted to be the one to leave Oh sweet daydreams of April, rosy cheeked and starry eyed We were twisted in the branches when Your eager lips told me they were mine I had to grow up, I did what I had to do But if I was that willow I'd weep Oh if I was that willow I'd weep for you
