The 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 ain't nobody 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
