lyrics

Don’t tell me when you’re feeling lost
Cause I will tell you that I am lost too
Don’t tell me when you’re feeling blue
Cause I am not the one to turn to

And when you start to fall asleep
Remember you made your bed to lay in
Among a thousand different trees
But only the weeping willows swaying

They’re singing
Come lay down
Come rest your bones
Among my roots and stones
Come and sleep carefree
Lay your soul with me
We’ll settle under the willow tree

We’ve been living day to day
But we will never have nothing
Every time you go away
I begin to dream the worst thing

That I can’t have you for my own
Your wish was taken for granted
You tell me you want to be alone
Though I gave you a forest that I planted

It’s singing
Come lay down
Come rest your bones
Among my roots and stones
Come and sleep carefree
Lay your soul with me
We’ll settle under the willow tree

We’ll carve our names in wood
Where we always stood
And we will stay there for good

We'll carve our names in wood
Where we always stood
And we will stay there for good

I'll sing it through the willow trees
Though I burn, and starve, and freeze
I’ll be forever on my knees

Asking you
