willow Lyrics

Willow

The sweeping arcs of the moments you hold

Soft and Slow

In your gaze every raging heart stops cold

And they say each time we rise from sleep, we are different

And you know tomorrow's not the me you'll know in this existence

Should I wilt I'd have to call upon the strength in my blood

But to say I'm not afraid of death is just a lie but

For you, I'd die a million times

Then be reborn every life because of how I'd miss

Miss you, I would set my heart alight

So instead of sun's cold rays in winter

It would be mine that kiss you

Willow

Your praises still echo over lands of frost

And snow

Enchanted by your flowers despite my fog

And though the birds flew 'round you, I would never see their nests

You and I both had parts that we'd always kept suppressed

And within the frozen earth I had hid my heart there

But your blooms emerged from the frost, my life laid bare

For you, I'd spend a million weeks

So you who have my heart now can have my lungs to seize

Renew, I'll relearn how to breathe

Give my dusks and dawns and all my days

Just to see

Perhaps it's true

I'm no better than the birds flying around you

Among the dreams I had before I found you

Dearest Willow, I need to see the world with you

With you, I've found the will to fly

Mend my broken wings in your arms and soar into the skies

For you, I'd face winter again

So when spring comes around, I'd know you by your blooms

Willow
