Down by the weeping willow Where in eves of twilight Forlorn souls wander Searching and seeking Their material surrogates Even calling out to lovers Dancing around the tree Like a carousel of desperation Ghastly apparitions chasing echoes In their pearl gowns From afar it almost looks like a festival In the sloping dewy grass You can even see Where curiosity treads and love falters Almost as if hesitant Intimidated by phantom temptation Yet new blades of folded grass apparent Creeping ever further Slowly, steadily, in trepidation Mesmerized by the eerie blue fireflies She said to come join her Beckoning me in my dream To join her and the company she keeps Begging me to come hemp in hand And enjoy the carousel Down by the weeping willow

Weeping Willow
Down by the weeping willow Where in eves of twilight Forlorn souls wander Searching and seeking Their material surrogates Even calling out to lovers Dancing around the tree Like a carousel of desperation Ghastly apparitions chasing echoes In their pearl gowns From afar it almost looks like a festival In the sloping dewy grass You can even see Where curiosity treads and love falters Almost as if hesitant Intimidated by phantom temptation Yet new blades of folded grass apparent Creeping ever further Slowly, steadily, in trepidation Mesmerized by the eerie blue fireflies She said to come join her Beckoning me in my dream To join her and the company she keeps Begging me to come hemp in hand And enjoy the carousel Down by the weeping willow
