lyrics

I was shaded by a willow
Who owed nothing to me
I was looking for some shelter
And she offered it for free

Like the wind blows through the branches
Like the fruit falls from the tree
The best things in this world
Are given willingly

As I thought about the future
And I thought about the past
I was thinking to myself
How much more this all could last

Some things become important
While others fade to black
Like actors on a stage
We’re all just playing out our act

When you came into my orbit
I offered you some wine
And we got too drunk to notice
We were running out of time

I wanted to say goodbye to you
To thank you for your time
But you skipped town with everything
Including what was mine

But I’m not really bothered
I was tired anyway
You relieved me of a burden
It was weighing down my day

I guess I’m learning something
From that wise old willow tree
Everything you thought you got away with
I gave it willingly
