Waifs - Willow Tree lyrics

rate me

Under the willow tree, that's where I wait for you<br />

To come back to me, but you're so far away.<br />

I just sit by here in the morning sun, <br />

And I wait under the willow tree.<br />

<br />

It was a bitter seed that you left that day<br />

When you walked out my door screaming "Get out of my face!"<br />

I took all your hurtin' words, I took your bad deeds<br />

And I buried 'em deep underneath that tree.<br />

<br />

Under the willow tree, that's where I wait for you<br />

To come back to me, but you're so far away.<br />

I just sit by here in the morning sun, <br />

And I wait under the willow tree.<br />

<br />

---<br />

<br />

But such beauty grew from bitterness.<br />

Oh how it's helped to heal this heavy heart, <br />

Oh and I want you to know, yeah that it's ok.<br />

If you come back I would welcome you like it was yesterday.<br />

<br />

Under the willow tree, that's where I wait for you<br />

To come back to me, but you're so far away.<br />

I just sit by here in the morning sun, <br />

And I wait under the willow tree.<br />

<br />

---<br />

<br />

Oh, but I'm not asking you for union, no-no.<br />

I want your promise to be true oh,<br />

'Cos I've been around the world, honey I've seen enough to know -<br />

There aint nobody else. I'd rather walk with you.<br />

<br />

Under the willow tree, that's where I wait for you<br />

To come back to me, but you're so far away.<br />

I just sit right here and I play my guitar, <br />

And I wait under the willow tree.<br />

<br />

Under the willow tree.
