Forever Weeping

 

In  sorrow the willow will always  weep 
opening  her heart , tears  softly  flow 
crying for a world  that  has fallen  asleep 

planting seeds,  waiting for  dreams to reap 
under moonlight her slender  branches  glow
in  sorrow  the willow  will always  weep 

protecting precious secrets you  keep 
hidden in her trunk in the earth  below 
crying for  a world that  has fallen  asleep 

awakening silence she counts  lost  sheep
across the river  the wind  does  blow
in her sorrow the willow will  always weep

some will  fall the mountain is too steep
darkest nights, will the blackbird crow
crying for a world that has fallen asleep

hope in a horizon, sun begins to peep
will today be the day that love will grow
in sorrow the willow will always weep
crying for a world that has fallen asleep
