The Weeping Willow's Lament

[Verse]
Beneath the willow's mournful shade
Where secrets sleep and vows are laid
The wind does whisper
Soft and slow
Of love that faded long ago

[Chorus]
Oh willow weep
Your branches bend
For hearts that break
For dreams that end
The moon may rise
The stars may glow
But sorrow lingers
Deep below

[Verse 2]
A knight once knelt
His armor gleamed
His voice a song
His eyes a dream
But time has turned his promise cold
The tale now echoes
Bitter
Old

[Prechorus]
The river runs
It knows the tale
It sings of loss
It wails
It wails

[Chorus]
Oh willow weep
Your branches bend
For hearts that break
For dreams that end
The moon may rise
The stars may glow
But sorrow lingers
Deep below

[Bridge]
Leaves like tears
They fall
They fall
No knight returns to answer call
The earth it keeps
The secrets bound
A love now buried in the ground
