Willow

(album: The Awakening - 2023)

Endless days, eternal nights
Midnight sun and cyan skies
My heart remembers
When my last summer turns to fall
And my eyes have seen it all
I shall return

Underneath the willows
Where my roots grow childhood deep
My memories remain my pillow
As I fall asleep

Anthem for the old and free
Never left my memory
I sang it proudly
Bitter cold winds from the sea
They were always kind to me
One day I shall return

Underneath the willows
Where my roots grow childhood deep
My memories remain my pillow
As I fall asleep

Thank you for your humble grace
So motherly the love you gave me
In your care I grew to be
The man I have become

Underneath the willows
Where my roots grow childhood deep
My memories remain my pillow
As I fall asleep
Underneath the willow tree
Where my roots grow childhood deep
My memories remain
As I fall asleep
As I lay to rest

When my eyes have seen it all
I shall return
