Beneath the willow tree

lyrics

Beneath the willow tree

Beneath the willow tree
our woes we sealed
when the sun was setting up
your hair tangled up
and I embraced you very tight
and my head laid on your thighs
while your hands cared my brow
we seemed to be two infants

-Like a beggar you asked my love
and like a butcher I cuted your heart

I heard an angel speak
right from your lips
my eyes they shone in glee
and the sweet heat of your kiss
I cruelty deceived
have your eyes ever wept for me?

Now I know I was unfair
I still feel it night and day
that my grief is not away
but I'm sure yours longtime fled
