From the recording When the Monsters Come
Lyrics
She makes her way to the willow grove
A question on her mind
Father Willow, won’t you tell me true
Will I, my true love find?
The wind came up
The branches swayed
Thus conferred the trees
Timeless, growing, weeping, moaning
A whisper on the breeze
A couple lies in the willow grove
Hearts and bodies entwined
Father Willow, please bless our love
A promise, commitment, a bind
The wind came up
The branches swayed
Thus conferred the trees
Timeless, growing, weeping, moaning
A whisper on the breeze
He charges toward the willow grove
A weight upon his heart
Father Willow, won’t you tell me true
Must I and my true love part?
I’ll never leave this willow grove
He howls into the dark
And thrusts his dagger through his breast
The blade has met it’s mark
The wind came up
The branches swayed
Thus conferred the trees
Timeless, growing, weeping, moaning
A whisper on the breeze
