[Verse]
Like the moon pulls on the water and water pulls the sand
Like starlight drifts a billion years to flicker once above your head
Cicadas in the oak tree are singing to the sky
And I am calling out to you across this lonely night
[Chorus]
Come back to the valley, the green willow valley
In the cool of the evening, I'm waiting here for you
[Verse]
Can you feel the wings of birds unfold across the sky?
Can you hear the blades of gra** calling to the light?
There are rivers underground rushing cold and wild
And I am calling out to you 'cross this lonely night
[Chorus]
Come back to the valley, the green willow valley
In the cool of the evening, I'm waiting here for you
[Bridge]
And we lie under the willows on a bed of fallen leaves
I will bring you apples and water from the stream
[Verse]
I will pull the thorns from your blistered feet
Can't you hear me calling in the whispers of the trees?
[Chorus]
Come back to the valley, the green willow valley
In the cool of the evening, I'm waiting here for you
