Nellie McKay - Willow Weep for Me lyrics
[Nellie McKay - Willow Weep for Me lyrics]
Willow, weep for me willow, weep for me
Bend your branches green
Along the stream that runs to sea
Listen to my plea listen, willow
And weep for me
Gone, my lover's dream lovely summer dream
Gone, and left me here
To weep my tears into the stream
Sad as I can be hear me, willow
And weep for me whisper to the wind
And say that love has sinned
To leave my heart a-breakin'
And makin' a moan murmur to the night
To hide her starry light
So none will find me sighing
And crying all alone
Oh, weeping willow tree weep in sympathy
Bend your branches down
Along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall bend, oh, willow
And weep for me
Willow, weep for me willow, weep for me
Bend your branches green
Along the stream that runs to sea
Listen to my plea listen, willow
And weep for me
Gone, my lover's dream lovely summer dream
Gone, and left me here
To weep my tears into the stream
Sad as it may be hear me, willow
And weep for me
Whisper to the wind say that love has sinned
Leave my heart a-breakin' and makin' a moan
Murmur to the night to hear her starry light
So none will find me sighing
And crying all alone
Weeping willow tree bend your branches down
Along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall bend, oh, willow
And weep for me (vocalizing break)
Willow, weep for me willow, weep for me
Bend your branches green
Along the stream that runs to sea
Listen to my plea listen, willow
And weep for me gone, my lover's dream
Lovely summer dream gone, and left me here
To weep my tears into the stream
Sad as I can be hear me, willow
And weep for me
Whisper to the wind
And say that love has sinned
To leave my heart a-breakin'
And makin' a moan murmur to the night
To hide her starry light
So none will find me sighing
And crying all alone
Oh, weeping willow tree weep in sympathy
Bend your branches down
Along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall bend, oh, willow
And weep for me
Bend your branches green
Along the stream that runs to sea
Listen to my plea listen, willow
And weep for me
Gone, my lover's dream lovely summer dream
Gone, and left me here
To weep my tears into the stream
Sad as I can be hear me, willow
And weep for me whisper to the wind
And say that love has sinned
To leave my heart a-breakin'
And makin' a moan murmur to the night
To hide her starry light
So none will find me sighing
And crying all alone
Oh, weeping willow tree weep in sympathy
Bend your branches down
Along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall bend, oh, willow
And weep for me
Willow, weep for me willow, weep for me
Bend your branches green
Along the stream that runs to sea
Listen to my plea listen, willow
And weep for me
Gone, my lover's dream lovely summer dream
Gone, and left me here
To weep my tears into the stream
Sad as it may be hear me, willow
And weep for me
Whisper to the wind say that love has sinned
Leave my heart a-breakin' and makin' a moan
Murmur to the night to hear her starry light
So none will find me sighing
And crying all alone
Weeping willow tree bend your branches down
Along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall bend, oh, willow
And weep for me (vocalizing break)
Willow, weep for me willow, weep for me
Bend your branches green
Along the stream that runs to sea
Listen to my plea listen, willow
And weep for me gone, my lover's dream
Lovely summer dream gone, and left me here
To weep my tears into the stream
Sad as I can be hear me, willow
And weep for me
Whisper to the wind
And say that love has sinned
To leave my heart a-breakin'
And makin' a moan murmur to the night
To hide her starry light
So none will find me sighing
And crying all alone
Oh, weeping willow tree weep in sympathy
Bend your branches down
Along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall bend, oh, willow
And weep for me
