Weeping Willow Songtext
von Spencer Day

In the shade of a weeping willow
Once I played as an innocent child
And the earth was my only pillow
As I gazed at the clouds passing by

What became of the weeping willow?
Branches bare, cracking concrete and grime
Swaying there in the freeway′s shadow
From the breeze of a car passing by

See them passing by
See them passing by
There it sways in the freeway's shadow
In the breeze of a car passing by


So I cried for the weeping willow
And the dead rustling leaves replied
There is so little time for sorrow
When your life is just passing you by

See them passing by
See them passing by
There is so little time for sorrow
When your life is just passing you by

I am just like a weeping willow
Soon I′ll bend and I'll wither with time
Try and taste what is sweet and mellow
For the moment is passing you by

For the moment is passing me by
For the moment is passing me by
By
