Willow tree by the sea

Where the guards lie

How I love to look at you

With all my aching lie

Winter comes winter kills

Let it go by

There ' ll be better days

Willow

Don ' t cry

Willow star shine afar in a dark sky

You ' re the one I ' m wishing on

With all my weary mind

Tell the trees if you please

That it is alright

There ' ll be better days

Willow

Don ' t cry

River bend

River sigh

River so wide

Wash away the worry

From my lonely heart tonight

Lover comes

Lover goes

Let him go by

There ' ll be better days

Willow

Don ' t cry
