Well Id been up all night Watching this willow tree sway in the gentle light Down by the lakeside Listening to that old willows words As she whispered things Id never listened for Making them things Id never heard So shamefully so No one to blame but my own Blame but my own My own Chorus: But slowly now, slowly I go Laying beside this old willow Fusing her roots with my own Learning slowly to grow She said, youre just wandering Searching for truth, for honesty For something much deeper than what youve been clinging to For something that will not deceive Son just believe And follow the river flow Follow the old willow Follow it down, down, down So here now, now here now I go Laying beside this old willow Fusing her roots with my own Learning slowly to grow Bridge: And follow the river flow Follow the old willow Follow it down, down, down Final Chorus
