Old Man Willow

Lyrics

Somewhere there's an old man willow Weeping all alone People laugh at him Sit and stare everywhere He doesn't care He just sits there by his river Gazing at the sky What's the reason why Is he there anywhere The people don't know why he sits there and cries They think he's got a secret, but they don't realize He's just hot, he's got a fly on his shoulder He wants to swat it off, but his limbs are growing older He's tired and sick but he can't walk away To find some shade like he has made for others who can move He stopped to look at the sun one day He didn't realize he would be there to stay It doesn't matter what the people think He just wants to get out of the sun And find a place where he can go to sleep Somewhere there's an old man willow Weeping tears of rain Wind blows in his eyes As they stare everywhere [Instrumental Break] The people don't know why he sits there and cries They think he's got a secret, but they don't realize He's just hot, he's got a fly on his shoulder He wants to swat it off, but his limbs are growing older He's tired and sick but he can't walk away To find some shade like he has made for others who can move He stopped to look at the sun one day He didn't realize he would be there to stay It doesn't matter what the people think He just wants to get out of the sun And find a place where he can go to sleep
