lyrics

Willow weep for me
Willow weep for me
Bend your branches down, along the ground and cover me
Listen to my plea
Hear me willow and weep,
for me

Gone my summer dreams
Lovely summer dreams
Gone and left me here, to weep my tears along the stream
I’m sad as I can be
Hear me willow and weep
For me

Listen to the wind
Say that love has sinned
To leave my heart a breaking and making a moan
Murmur to the night
Hide your starry light
So none will find me crying
And sighing all alone

Weepin’ willow tree
Weep in sympathy
Bend your branches down, along the ground and cover me
Listen to my plea
Hear me willow and weep
For me
