lyrics

The willows
on the water
hang down to play
but feel
a cold misunderstanding
hung dried out
like her tears
the widow’s on the landing
her lover’s buried near
and the trees
are burning gladly
but I won’t cry for you
my love

Your eyes reflect
the water
a river of your fear
not dead
but disillussioned
and savaged by your peers
through the window
left wide open
I spied your resltess heart
now I will
sing it gladly
that I won’t cry for you
my love
