lyrics

The trees outside are a’blooming
Flowers of yellow & cream
Heavy the branches with perfume
Making everyone dizzy

But my love he waits by the willows
Watching the way that they weep
He says that he'll love me forever
Such a hard promise to keep

Old Man Willow, I would like to know
Who's been hanging round here?
Who's been sleeping underneath your leaves
Behind your veil of tears?

I will only tell you
If you're willing to be sad
If you're ready to lose everything
You thought you ever had

Spring turns into winter
Faster than you think
If I were in your shoes, boy
I wouldn't waste a wink

All winter I harbored a secret
That my sweetheart could not abide
& so I decided to keep it
& wait for the turn of the tide

But patience is only a virtue
If your heart’s intentions are true
Though I never tried to deceive him
The months passed & I made him blue

Old Man Willow, I would like to know
Who's been hanging round here?
Who's been sleeping underneath your leaves
Behind your veil of tears?

I will only tell you
If you're willing to be glad
If you're ready to have everything
You ever wanted bad

Spring turns into summer
Faster than you know
If I were in your shoes, boy
I wouldn’t let her go

The honeybees are in the meadow
The green grass is growing tall
My love has abandoned the willows
Together we wait for the fall
