waifs – willow tree lyrics

under the willow tree, that’s where i wait for you
to come back to me, but you’re so far away.
i just sit by here in the morning sun,
and i wait under the willow tree.

it was a bitter seed that you left that day
when you walked out my door screaming “get out of my face!”
i took all your hurtin’ words, i took your bad deeds
and i buried ’em deep underneath that tree.

under the willow tree, that’s where i wait for you
to come back to me, but you’re so far away.
i just sit by here in the morning sun,
and i wait under the willow tree.

—

but such beauty grew from bitterness.
oh how it’s helped to heal this heavy heart,
oh and i want you to know, yeah that it’s ok.

if you come back i would welcome you like it was yesterday.

under the willow tree, that’s where i wait for you
to come back to me, but you’re so far away.
i just sit by here in the morning sun,
and i wait under the willow tree.

—

oh, but i’m not asking you for union, no-no.
i want your promise to be true oh,
‘cos i’ve been around the world, honey i’ve seen enough to know –
there aint n-body else. i’d rather walk with you.

under the willow tree, that’s where i wait for you
to come back to me, but you’re so far away.
i just sit right here and i play my guitar,
and i wait under the willow tree.

under the willow tree.
