Willow Tree from Places by Halfway to Somewhere

1 Who’s that Standing near the Willow Tree
Staring at the Water, where the River runs free
Riverboat moans, oh me, oh my
A Lonesome figure, lets tears go by

2 Once, was a Woman, she was fancy free
Opened up her heart to the one’s in need
A man appears by her side
Fell in love, want to be my bride

3 Take their vow’s near the the Willow Tree
Let’s raise a glass, long live you and me
Time goes by to build their dreams
Lay a foundation, raise a family



4 At Work one day, he gets called away
Boards a Merchant ship, way out to Sea
Sea’s Erupt in a violent Spree
Vessel disappears, as the Storm gets mean


5 All hope is gone, there is no trace
A work of Mother nature, rears its ugly face
So say a pray for the one who died
Lay a reef of flowers by the harbor side


6 Who’s that Standing by the Willow Tree
Staring at the Water, where the River runs free
Riverboats moans, Oh me, Oh my
A lonesome figure lets tears go by
A lonesome figure lets tears go by
