Verse 1

When I was younger 
Used to be stronger
I’ve let it all fall away 

Soon I’ll be old and stuck in a cold room
Bed with a blue counterpane

Chorus 

When I was carefree 
I let down my hair 
But the farce of it all fell away 

Callous, impatient 
Pale as the slate 
All cause of Willie McCain

Verse 2

Now I am older 
Everything’s colder
Sick of the passing of days 

Soon I’ll be gone 
Alone with the birdsong 
Steadily moving away

Willie McCain

Verse 1

Evening’s shy
And the shallow skies 
Lose all meaning 
Lose all meaning 

Closing light 
From a fallow fire 
Slowly creeps in
Oh how it creeps in

Chorus 

Willow tree 
Still in the same old place that you have always been  

Oh Willow tree 
You were meant to be 

Verse 2

Dawning rain 
An embittered pain
Stop your weeping 
No more weeping 

Morning waits 
While the birdsong plays 
No more sleeping 
No more sleeping
