WILLOW
Marie Burns and Martin Simpson
(c) 1996 Marie Burns / Marie Burns Music, BMI
When the willows start to weep
Winter winds have died
When the waters run deep
I look to the other side
Searching for my true love
Hoping that he will call
He took me by the hand
Swore his love was true
When I looked into his eyes
I saw oceans of blue
Waves crashing on the shore
He was calling to me once more
Wait for me I will return
Inside my heart my love will burn
You're in my soul forevermore
Wait for me
Please wait for me
Sometimes in the night
I think I hear him call
But it's a lonely whippoorwill
Singing and that's all
I wait and time goes by
Still in dreams I can hear his cry
Wait for me I will return
Inside my heart my love will burn
You're in my soul forevermore
Wait for me I will return
Inside my heart my love will burn
You're in my soul forevermore
Wait for me
Please wait for me
When the willows start to weep
I'll be back by your side
[Performed by Mac Benford & The Woodshed All-Stars on "Willow" Rounder CD #0371, 1996.]
