Oh, sweet Willow. Why do you weep? You've no fear of being cut down No fruit to reap. You'll stand on the bank, by this old river bed You'll weap in quiet sorrow Until you are dead Don't worry about heartache Your friends are just trees Pain they can take They can't even feel breeze If you had a voice, what would your words be? Would it be "Hello, my friend." or "Please...kill me."

The Willow's Request
Oh, sweet Willow. Why do you weep? You've no fear of being cut down No fruit to reap. You'll stand on the bank, by this old river bed You'll weap in quiet sorrow Until you are dead Don't worry about heartache Your friends are just trees Pain they can take They can't even feel breeze If you had a voice, what would your words be? Would it be "Hello, my friend." or "Please...kill me."
