Old Man Willow |
Somewhere there’s an Old Man Willow |
Weeping all alone |
People laugh at him |
Sit and stare everywhere |
He doesn’t care |
He just sits there by his river |
Gazing at the sky |
What’s the reason why |
Is he there anywhere |
People don’t know why he sits there and cries |
They think he’s got a secret but they don’t realize |
He’s just hot — he’s got a fly on his shoulder |
He wants to swat it off but his limbs have grown older |
He’s tired and sick and he can’t walk away |
To find some shade like he has made for others of the ____ |
He stopped to look at the sun one day |
He didn’t realize that he would be there to stay |
It doesn’t matter what the people think |
He just want’s to get out of the sun |
To find a place that he can go to sleep |
Somewhere there’s an Old Man Willow |
Weeping tears of rain |
Wind blows in his eyes |
As they stare everywhere… |
