Amy Speace - Lullabye Under the Willow lyrics

Please, don't go, my darling The stars will stow your shadow beneath the trees! No need to leave, it's only the crows and thieves Who know about our grief. And do not be afraid of the day's first light As you watch it rise by my side! The wolves all fled, that's what the night owl said While whispering in my ear! And what's unsaid, we'll bury beneath the mossy roots Of the willow tree! Lay me down on her soft damp ground Teach me what lovers know! Before you go if you must go! Don't delay Nor hesitate while I wait for you by the crooked stone. Love may not fade, But it could stray while you take the measure of your home. Doors could close, If you linger, you might hold just a broken piece Of this make believe! So please, don't go, my darling The stars will stow your shadow beneath the trees! Far asleep, I promise I will keep Your shadow good company! My love, don't leave! My love, don't leave!
