Willows and Pines

“Can you hear me calling

Through the wind across this town?

With a sign – without a sound

Swiftly you are drifting

Through the willows and the pines

Slipping to a corner of my mind

“Can you see me sinking

Like a stone into the sea?”

Quietly I watched her

Shed a tear into her tea

All I am is all you were

But now it’s only me

Love became a lock without a key

And I hear you calling out

Through the willows and the pines

Like an echo of my mind

Can you see me falling now?

Like a wave without a sound

Like an echo of my mind

“Can you hear me calling

Through the wind across this town?”

Quietly I answered

With a sign – without a sound

Swiftly you are drifting

Through the willows and the pines

Slipping to a corner of my mind
