weeping willow tree

colin james

in the cold grey light of morning

they slipped into the creeping fog

they could barely see the headlights

they could barely see at all

they made a pact they had to keep

down at the weeping willow tree

they parked the car right by the train tracks

looked each other in the eye

the time has come now for redemption

there's no need to wonder why

and then they got down on their knees

beneath the weeping willow tree

there's a light

breaking through the morning rain

one more time

weeping willow cries again

he said baby don't you know i love you?"
