Jesse Winchester - Willow lyrics

Willow, Willow you are ever ready to go Ready to go anyway the wind blows I sure the wish the willow were inclined, so inclined To need me, but Willow what you've really done Is freed me, freed me from the roots that run so deeply But I still wish the willow would be mine Please be mine And as for your weeping Willow I offer a shoulder And a tired old cliche Tomorrow is another day Every cloud's got a silver lining It ain't no use just sitting and pining, Willow Willow, there is still a thing or two you don't know You say if it wasn't for the sorrow Willow, then the world would be so fine, oh so fine But it's so true, sadness kinda seems to just become you I don't need the gaiety like some do But I sure wish the willow would be mine Girl, please be mine And as for your weeping Well Willow I offer a shoulder And a tired old cliche Tomorrow is another day Every cloud's got a silver lining And it ain't no use just sitting and pining, Willow
