| Listen to the wailing of the willow
|
| Listen to me crying on my pillow
|
| Crying 'cause I know my love has gone from me
|
| Living in a world of different places
|
| Looking at a million different faces
|
| Yet I see her face in every face I see
|
| Love must lack a sense of humor
|
| It laughs when other people cry
|
| Love would love to hear the rumor
|
| That you and I have finally said goodbye
|
| I know that every heart was made for breaking
|
| And my love was ready for the taking
|
| Still I won’t complain for someday love will call again
|
| Must I take a memory as a token
|
| To replace a heart that love has broken
|
| Will the wailing willow always weep for me
|
| Must I see her face in every face I see
|
| Listen to the wailing of the willow tree |
