Willow Weep for Me Lyrics
[Instrumental]
[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 love
Once we met by the old willow tree
Now you've gone and left nothing to me
Nothing but a sweet memory
[Chorus]
Oh, 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 hеre to weep my tears into the strеam
Sad as I can be
Hear me willow and weep for me
[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 love
Once we met by the old willow tree
Now you've gone and left nothing to me
Nothing but a sweet memory
[Chorus]
Oh, 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 hеre to weep my tears into the strеam
Sad as I can be
Hear me willow and weep for me
Whisper to the wind and say that love has sinned
To leave my heart a-breaking and making a moan
Murmur to the night to hide her starry light
So none will find me crying and sighing all alone
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
To leave my heart a-breaking and making a moan
Murmur to the night to hide her starry light
So none will find me crying and sighing all alone
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
