Lyrics
Willy
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.
Willy is my child, he is my father
I would be his lady all mky life
He says he'd love to live with me
But for an ancient injurty
That has not healed
He said I feel once again
Like I gave my heart too soon
He stood there looking thru the lace
At the face on the conquered moon
And counting all the cars going up the hill
And the stars on my window sill
There are still more reasons why
I love him
Willy is my joy, he is my sorrow
Now he wants to run away and hide
He says our love annot be real
He cannot hear the chapels' pealing silver bells
But you know its hard to tell
When your in the spell if its wrong or if its real
BUt you're bound to lose
If you let the blues get you scared to feel
And I feel as if I'm just being born
Like a shiny light breaking in a storm
There are some many reasons why I love him
