Lyrics
WILLOW
Under the willow
I carry a jug of water
I pour it out
And I bless it
Under the golden star
Ages to come
I hardly am blessed
And all I feel
Is the emptiness
And pass away in the cloud
And dance away
Dance away
I have a gift beyond the sun
I cry for all I’ve done
I know it is right
I know it well
I dance
I dance again
While you wait in deadly throes
And while you dance away your life
I know it’s time
It’s time to walk among the stars
Figure out
What time it is
And you notice the clock
Has gone down
You figure out
What time it is
And you notice the clock
Has gone down
While you wait
The time has come
And you can see everyone
Everyone
While you wait
You can take the time
And while you wait
For the river
For the river to run dry.
And while the cold night air
Scratches out my breath
And all the time
You tell yourself
You’re ready for this
You’re ready for this
You’re ready for this.
