Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You said leave your house now and to the willow I'll run
To the willow, what willow? One far from the pond
And it's there that you told me that your dad's for good gone
Under the willow, the willow, the willow
[Verse 2]
And you sang me the first verse of a gravedigger's song
And it sounded so sweet in your Chippewa tongue
With skin like it's kissed long from a winterless sun
Under the willow, the willow, the willow
[Chorus]
And in that moment time didn't own me
I heard the sound of approaching hoofbeat
Then we ran off in fright and we took under the willow
'Til the morning
[Instrumental]
You insisted me back down to your other mom's digs
I was stricken by your mother, I was scared of your dogs
I remember the story now, but the footnotes are gone
Under the willow, the willow, the willow
[Chorus]
Now come to light, I see you had to make him go
In a way you and I devised an alibi for sure
So I guess, so alright, you had to let me know
Until the morning
Written by: Archie Rankin, Jon Pearo, Matt Ellis, Travis Ellis
