Write On a Willow

from Once and Future Kings by Once and Future Kings

/

lyrics

wear your dress in a meadow
the days go by, await the fall
ask me not from your armchair
don’t ask me why you paid the cost
hearts are churning, quite an achiever
the light burns, write on the willow
taking jobs to nowhere
the stars go out, a waste of pain
pass on the cathedral
even seeds will run away
white lies you tell at your peril
the pines shedding their needles
you ask him to travel when trouble comes hither
you ask me if love will keep you together
follow the dream, you have to weather, don’t
wish in your hands, you’re crossing your fingers
i know blue violets are on your radar
you’re better excited in spite of the dribble
i’m watching the middle, watching the middle
one can’t hold a candle to falling. you’ll see a
thunder god won’t keep a secret, it throbs with every
heartbeat, in the calm of spring when you touch it tingles
your weighted doubts will test your feelings
as long as you know it deep inside
you’ll go anywhere you can coincide but
you’d rather be someone going nowhere
than a no one going somewhere else
write on a willow
. . . (“dot-dot dot”)
write with a needle
