Lyrics
The Wailing Of The Willow
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Listen to the wailing of the willows,
Listen to me crying on my pillow
Crying cause I know my love is gone from me
Living in a world of different places,
Looking at a million different faces
Yet I see a face in every face I see
Love must lack a sense of humor,
It laughs when other people cry
Love, would love to hear the rumor,
That you and I have finally said goodbye
I know that every heart was made for breaking
And my love was ready for the takin',
Still I won't complain for someday love will call again
Must I take a memory as a token,
To replace a heart that love has broken
Will the wailing willow always weep for me
Must I see a face in every place I see
Listen to the wailing of the willow tree
