Ann Hampton Callaway - Willow Weep for Me lyrics

VERSE Oh Lord, why did you send the darkness to me? Are the shadows forever to be? Where's the light I'm longing to see? Oh Lord, once we met by the old willow tree Now you've gone and left nothing to me Nothing but a sweet memory Willow weep for me Willow weep for me Bend your branches green Along the stream that runs to sea Listen to my plea Listen willow and weep for me Gone my lover's dream Lovely summer dream Gone and left me here To weep my tears into the stream Sad as I can be Hear me, willow, and weep for me BRIDGE Whisper to the wind And say that love has sinned To leave my heart breakin' And makin' a moan Murmur to the night To hide the starry light So none will find me sighing And crying all a-lone Oh, weeping willow tree Weep in sympathy Bend your branches down Along the ground and cover me When the shadows fall Bend, oh willow, and weep for me
