The Willow Tree

Intro

Hmm

Mmm

Oh-oh

Verse 1

Thawing out

Frozen red clay turns to mud beneath my boots

Waking slow

I see the willow branches start to bow and sway

Pre-Chorus

Winter gave up the fight

Morning stretches into late afternoon light

Finding my breath again

Chorus

Green comes crawling back to the hill

Everything is fresh and everything is still

Waiting for the heat to arrive

Feeling so alive

Feeling so alive

Everything is fresh and everything is still

Post-Chorus

Green and gold

New and old

Petals unfold

Verse 2

Sowing seeds

Deeper in the black soil than I ever thought

Washing windows

Seeing clearly through the glass for the first time

Pre-Chorus

Winter gave up the fight

Morning stretches into late afternoon light

Finding my breath again

Chorus

Green comes crawling back to the hill

Everything is fresh and everything is still

Waiting for the heat to arrive

Feeling so alive

Feeling so alive

Everything is fresh and everything is still

Bridge

Open the door

Unlock the door

Step through the door

Sweet smell of rain on the warm pavement stones

Healing the ache in my weary tired bones

Chorus

Green comes crawling back to the hill

Everything is fresh and everything is still

Waiting for the heat to arrive

Feeling so alive

Feeling so alive

Everything is fresh and everything is still
