lyrics

I am the willow
Eat of my bark
Let me protect you
At least in part

For I am the willow
But also the wind
Freezing and bitter
Tearing at skin

Let me be sober
Just for a day
Let me be happy
Try anyway
Let me be sober
Just for a week
Take me as worthy
Fruit of the tree

I am the willow
Crooked and tall
Bent by the wicked
Westerly squall

For I am the willow
But also the wind
That which will harm you
Where it has been

Let me be sober
Just for a day
Let me be happy
Try anyway
Let me be sober
Just for a week
Take me as worthy
Fruit of the tree

I am the willow
Breaking apart
Take what is needed but
Burn out my heart

For I am the willow
Sick of the wind
Tear off my branches
Feast of my skin

Let me be sober
Just for a day
Let me be happy
Try anyway
Let me be sober
Just for a week
Take me as worthy
Fruit of the tree
