The Willow Tree

Under the willow
softly we sleep
while the leaves above us
continue to weep

Twilight seeps through
the open willow leaves
and shines upon us
as we drift in sleep

You whisper in my ear
softly
but i can still hear

You tell me a secret
about the tree
how it brings warmth
to you and me

When the sun starts to rise
and the willow lets in light
i'll open my eyes
and think about our night

Alone in the willow tree
no one can tell us to come down
only you and me
and the love we've found..
