Willow Tree Lyrics - Gil Evans

Let me be your weeping willow tree 

Surround you with my long limbs 

My dear, let me grow in the shade 

In the sands by the bank of your river 

Let I drink from your streams 

The cool breeze fill my leaves 

We will sing together 

Water over the pebbles 

And I'll be by your side forever 

I wish I was a weeping willow tree 

I wish I was a weeping willow tree 

I wish I was a weeping willow tree 

Sweet river caress how softly 

Stir my searching roots 

Shading the sun in the summers heat 

Let I cool you 

We have been dancing so long 

In the winters freeze and the summers drought 

We survive 

We belong 

Let us sing together 

Water over the pebbles 

And I'll be by your side forever 

I wish I was your weeping willow tree 

I wish I was a weeping willow tree 

I wish I was a weeping willow tree 

Let us sing together 

Water over the pebbles 

And I'll be by your side forever 

Let us sing together 

Water over the pebbles 

And I'll be by your side forever 

We can sing together 

Water over the pebbles 

And I'll be by your side forever 

Let me be 

Your willow tree 

Your willow tree
