Dedicated to Maria

lyrics

The old man stood next to me under the willow tree and he asked me, he asked me for my time. The old man stood next to me under the willow tree and he asked me, he asked me for my time. The serenade it weeped to me lost souls for eternity, still the cold river flowed beneath that willow tree, shattered dreams and truths belied, I saw the world through virgin eyes and whispered she release me please and take away my misery . . . oh oh oh wo oh oh . . . The old man stood next to me under the willow tree and he asked me, yeah he asked me for my time. Take me back from whence I came become one with he that hath no name, he lost his love under that old willow tree. Forbidden fruit taste not my blood, a crimson tide became a flood and so she died beneath that old willow tree. The old man stood next to me under the willow tree and he asked me yeah he asked me for my time. He warned of spent and wasted lives and told of love for his dear wife and the day she died under that old willow tree, he warned of spent and wasted lives and told of love for his dear wife and the day she died under that old willow tree. The old man stood next to me, under the willow tree and he asked me for my time.
