Willows Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Find a love
Go build a cabin
Find land and a tree
Carve in a wish
On your knees, planting seeds
The dirt, making rows, where the devil don’t see

[Verse 2]
My love, I agree, so lucky to find ya
But memories, they don’t stay behind us
Our minds are strong, could it be enough
To bring strength to the bones

[Chorus]
Our weeping willow is hanging above me
On my back in the sun, would it fall upon me
I won’t let you down and man you will keep safe my love
Safe my love

[Verse 3]
Sow the earth
A blanket of bounty
In the distance a hearse
The devil drives empty
In a babies eyes
The ritual purifies every design
[Chorus]
Our weeping willow is hanging above me
On my back in the sun, will you lay beside me
I won’t let you down and man you will keep safe my love
Man you will keep safe my love
Man you will keep safe my love

[Chorus]
Our weeping willow is hanging above me
On my back in the sun, will you lay beside me
I won’t let you down and man you will keep safe

[Outro]
Let you down, man you will keep safe
Let you down and man you will keep safe my love

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
