Willow

I went down to the willow in the wind,
said how's it blowing, is it being your friend?
I went down to all you rocks by the seaside,
were you a cushion for the shipwreck last night?
How's it going, all you fields full of rye,
are you catching lots of souls in your insides?
How's it going, free bird in the sky,
is a drunken hunter trying to claim your life?

Go on and fly, go on and fly
It's a lonely life, it's a hell sometimes
It goes on for miles ...
Down here we're trying to take flight
So let it go and rise

I went into forest thick with pines,
did a festive family come and take your child?
Dragged my feet through beaches warm with sand,
are the waves flowing a heartbeat on the land?
How's it going, jungle rich with noise,
is everyone echoing crescendoing joys?
How's it going, free bird in the sky,
Did you know we're jealous that you live so high ...

Go on and fly, go on and fly
It's a lonely life, it's a hell sometimes
It goes on for miles ...
Down here we're trying to take flight
So let it go and rise

How's it going, my sweetheart with dark eyes,
were you able to leave your past behind?
How's it going, my mama with her load,
were you able to build a happy home?

Go on and fly, go on and fly
It's a lonely life, it's a hell sometimes
It goes on for miles ...
Down here we're trying to take flight
So let it go and rise
