Story Behind The Song

Leaving Boyfriend to go off to school.

Lyrics

The Bird and the Weeping Willow

Down by the water
Lives a willow tree
And on his branches sits a bird
She sang him songs he'd never heard
He found her captivating

And all through the summer
She never left his side
It was romance under the sun
Their love still bright as night would come
They swooned in the moonlight

But as the seasons changed
He knew that bird would fly away
And as the cold set in
She knew she couldn't stay

Oh willow don't cry over me
In your dreams find company
I know you're waiting patiently
But I'll fly back home soon you'll see

All through the winter
He was left alone
His little bird could not be seen
No more fish left in the stream
Only the falling snow

But his bird was clever
She knew what she had done
No matter how high she would fly
That tree was always on her mind
He was the only one

And as the seasons changed
He knew that bird was on her way
And as the flowers bloomed
His bird flew home to stay

(Guitar break)

Oh willow don't cry over me
In your dreams find company
I know you're waiting patiently
But I'll fly back home

Oh willow don't cry over me
In your dreams find company
I know you're waiting patiently
But I'll fly back home soon you'll see
