Beneath the willow A young man sits, wishing past Would fade at last To silence his past Seems but a feverish dream A distant hope, lost To blot out these marks Would cleanse his scarred past of pain Give a final piece But what of his loss Losing the small good times had Those fleeting moments A smile, high laughter Eyes like earth, hiding rare gems To be with her, love Beneath the willow A repentant old man sits Glad to save those Gems

Willow Boy
Beneath the willow A young man sits, wishing past Would fade at last To silence his past Seems but a feverish dream A distant hope, lost To blot out these marks Would cleanse his scarred past of pain Give a final piece But what of his loss Losing the small good times had Those fleeting moments A smile, high laughter Eyes like earth, hiding rare gems To be with her, love Beneath the willow A repentant old man sits Glad to save those Gems
