lyrics

Well I’d been up all night
Watching this willow tree sway in the gentle light
Down by the lakeside

Listening to that old willow’s words
As she whispered things I’d never listened for
Making them things I’d never heard

So shamefully so
No one to blame but my own
Blame but my own
My own

Chorus:
But slowly now, slowly I go
Laying beside this old willow
Fusing her roots with my own
Learning slowly to grow

She said, you’re just wandering
Searching for truth, for honesty
For something much deeper than what you’ve been clinging to
For something that will not deceive

Son just believe
And follow the river flow
Follow the old willow
Follow it down, down, down

So here now, now here now I go
Laying beside this old willow
Fusing her roots with my own
Learning slowly to grow

Bridge:
And follow the river flow
Follow the old willow
Follow it down, down, down

Final Chorus
