Willow Trees

By the river, hanging leaves The roots, they anchor deep But the Willow still weeps Your pillow sees The anguish at half past three We've aged like oak it seems But there's still loose ends to meet Diapers and milk bottles You want a take breath after work Darling you Run a mile in those worn in shoes I'll find a way to run back to you Catching up to purple and blue The Willow Trees By the river, we sit and breathe Hand clasped round our knees Laughing through our teeth Sitting here for hours Without a care in the world Darling you Run a mile in those worn in shoes I'll find a way to run back to you Catching up to purple and blue Darling you Run a mile before the rooster coos I'll be there by your side soon Catching up to purple and blue
