Thread Name: Tree songs? esp. Celtic?
Subject: Lyr Add: THE WILLOW
Nomos does a song that goes something like this:
I love the trees, the willow and the hazel The apple tree, the blackthorn The silver birch trees standing in the moonlight I love them all.
I can't remember the rest of it. I heard another song on the Thistle and Shamrock. I don't remember who sings it though. It's called 'The Willow':
It was underneath the weeping willow tree When you swore undying love for me How sweet the promise that could never be How sweet the ? we never came to see.
CHORUS: I sat beneath the willow tree and wept For promises we made and never kept It's here for every footstep as you left Beneath the willow tree I sat and wept
Who can know the thoughts and reasons of the heart That tear a love into pieces and apart That leaves a stone where once a flower bloomed That turns the world a deeper shade of blue. CHORUS
It was underneath a weeping willow tree She lay within your arms so peacefully I stood upon the hill and watched you there You never saw me through her golden hair. ^^
