Weeping Willow (Waltz Macabre)

Wintertime has spread its blanket on us It's you and me again, as we lay down to rest You put down your flowers and so have I But it's not the first nor the last goodbye Another year, another scar That leaves its trace on who we are Hang down your branches and soflty sway While the wind carries all of our sins away But when the leaves go green, with the coming of spring We'll laugh and forget everything And we'll drink and dance, dream about romance Until winter creeps in again You will survive me, of that I'm sure And face many more winters to endure But if you would let me I will lay down and sleep And listen to the cry of your lonesome weeping Willow don't refrain, don't let go Plant your roots deep inside me, flourish and grow And then when it's time, cast your blossom away Let it fall down upon me, in my grave But when the leaves go green, with the coming of spring We'll laugh and forget everything And we'll drink and dance, dream about romance Until winter creeps in again
