Lyrics
Bends Like a 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.
She's catching the wind: The gentlest of breezes
It's a sensitive passage she's sailing
Through stormy straits, navigates my unfathomable failings
She rises before me, reading me clearly
Empty nest left pressed in the pillow
She can shift, she can away
And bend like a willow
I'm swept in the riptide, caught in a fish trap
Gift-wrapped in my soft self centre
Summer Sun leaves me as one who can only taste winter
She's a good, a good God-send: She can bend like a willow
With a fully armed angel to cover me quickly
I'm cool under enemy fire
If I fall, she can crawl right under the wire
When I'm caustic and cold, she might dare to be bold
Ease me round to her warm way of thinking
Fill me up from the cup of love that she's drinking
And I find, given time. I can bend like a willow
She bends like a willow
