about

Based on a true story

lyrics

The willow fell on the well
One night while I lay sleeping
No storm or wind
With a crash, the willow quit weeping

Chorus
It took me away
From my dreams
The only place
Where I can feel...

The willow lay on the well
Sleep just wouldn't have me
Nor storm or wind
Stopped my axe in hand through the tree

Willow on the well
Cut in pieces where it had stood
Saving lichen and moss as I
Release the sun trapped in the wood

It took me away
To the dreams
I know there's a place
I can see it

While the embers
Laugh and take flight
Sweet smoke lay me down
By the willow light


For Charles and Marion
2012
