As I wallow away my dreams
Under this familiar willow tree,
I slowly begin to fall asleep.
Asleep I shall go one day,
Or so they say.
The rain hides my feelings,
That’s why I love it so.
I can wallow under the willow
Without anyone knowing
That I am wallowing.
The sweet rain pours down my face,
And the sour tears destroy the drops.
I lean against the willow,
And let the leaves be my pillow.
I caress the fallen leaves in my hands,
And watch the rain pour down their slender bodies.
As I wallow away my dreams
Under this familiar willow tree,
I begin to fall asleep at last,
And be in peace once again.
