THE WILLOW'S LULLABY

Priscilla Hernández


Beware ...
Beware ...
go to find a safer place to rest 
When you hear the willow's hiss 
beware if you dare dream neath its leaves 
beware, go to find a safer place 

It mourns the forest that it once dwelt 
It mourns the birds that had left their nests 
and flew away ...

When the willow sings half alive 
it releases all the pain it hides inside 
if you hear its song alone 
You fall sleep and your soul is gone 

This willow has bitter heart 
This willow has bitter soul 
so... 
Beware...
