The Willow!

yes I wanted to lead you by the hand
under the wispy droop of the willow down by the lake
I wanted you to follow me with your deep brown eyes
and smile at the brashness of it all
yes I wanted to kiss you under that willow
and make you wonder why others call it weeping
and fall asleep under stars we cannot see
for the forest of that tree
yes I wanted there to be…a you, and a me
hidden ‘neath the wispy willows
of that old weeping willow tree...
