Donovan Leitch - House of Jansch lyrics

rate me

From the album mellow yellow

Girl ain't nothing but a willow tree

Swaying in a summer breeze,

You'll never change what has to be.

Girl ain't nothing but a willow tree.

Sometimes I don't know what I said till I did,

I want to be the father of your kid.

Dragonfly he sleeps till dawn,

I knew I'd be here when love has gone.

Crystal ball is what I wish for you,

Get it straight, I love the both of you.

Someone's goin' through a cold turkey.

Girl ain't nothing but a willow tree.

I give your baby a contact high

I love another is what I sigh -ha-

Looks like rain, I do declare,

Your baby wants to take my chocolate eclair.

I couldn't cry, I could not laugh,

Incident about a silken scarf.

I know what a jealous trip can be.

Girl ain't nothing but a willow tree.

Girl ain't nothing but a willow tree

Swaying in a summer breeze,

You'll never change what has to be,

Girl ain't nothing but a willow tree.

Weep for me, willow tree,

Weep for me, willow tree.
