House Of Jansch Lyrics - Donovan Leitch

From the album mellow yellow 

Girl ain't nothing but a willow tree 

Swaying in a summer breeze, 

You'll never change what has to be. 

Girl ain't nothing but a willow tree. 

Sometimes I don't know what I said till I did, 

I want to be the father of your kid. 

Dragonfly he sleeps till dawn, 

I knew I'd be here when love has gone. 

Crystal ball is what I wish for you, 

Get it straight, I love the both of you. 

Someone's goin' through a cold turkey. 

Girl ain't nothing but a willow tree. 

I give your baby a contact high 

I love another is what I sigh -ha- 

Looks like rain, I do declare, 

Your baby wants to take my chocolate eclair. 

I couldn't cry, I could not laugh, 

Incident about a silken scarf. 

I know what a jealous trip can be. 

Girl ain't nothing but a willow tree. 

Girl ain't nothing but a willow tree 

Swaying in a summer breeze, 

You'll never change what has to be, 

Girl ain't nothing but a willow tree. 

Weep for me, willow tree, 

Weep for me, willow tree.
