lyrics

She sat with me
Beneath the willow tree
And she wept with the willow
She wept with the willow

She lost her light today
When he walked away
The sun had fallen from the sky
Had fallen from the sky

Folded in the swaying canopy
I let her cry for her
I let her weep for me
Young love had lost
She was lost

Beyond the flowers bloom
The field was making room
For the fullness of the spring
The fullness of the spring

“I don’t belong out there”
She said with true despair
And maybe she was right
For that moment she was right

There’s a wisdom I suppose I should’ve told her
That nothing’s perfect in this world
That this is part of growing older
But I couldn’t feel convinced
All I could do was hold her
Young love was lost
We were lost

She sat with me
Beneath the willow tree
And she wept with the willow
She wept with the willow
