There is also a generous sound sample on this page: http://www.marieburns.com/music/willow/ 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.] |
