lyrics

Willow (lyric by Tessa Souter. Song by Pat Martino)

What if I became a willow tree
On the banks of you, a wild river
What would you do if I fell into the dark of you
Would that be too deep
And if I touched the very heart of you
Would you let me keep
The tender moment when a part of you loved me too
I'm yearning for a deeper blue
Please let me run away with you
To the sea

And if I should let a tender leaf
Go floating over you, a pale green dancer
Would I just sink or would you hold me while you danced with me
Lead me to the brink of falling deeper
In romance with me, dance with me
I'm yearning for a deeper blue
Please let me run away with you
To the sea
