the willow tree

underneath the willow tree

you can stand tall and free

if you see death knock at your door

don't go running back home

for it might be you who he's after

just stay calm and watch him

don't let him know you're there

if he exits empty handed

run and hide in lifes' garden

but if he exits with someone ,

run as fast as you can

not towards him but towards her home

for she is the only one who can save the poor soul

 

don't try to be a hero and save them your self

if you must hurry then go directly to life herself

don't stop at her secretary ,

it could make your family a little wary

 

run and save them

run and save them

don't try to be a hero

it could win you a big zero

plead with life to let them live

but she is a cunning lady

don't offer your self in exchange

for she might take the both of you instead

leave that thought in the back of your head

tell her you'll do anything

and she'll keep you locked up like a bird

but maybe if you ask her nicely she will

don't offer her anything , nothinng at all

she's a power hungry broad

she'll take what she can get and eat it in one bite

but you can't negotiate in the night

because at night she always wants more

 

so if its night just let her be

and say goodbye to your family member

for they are gone forever

and even if its day

i suggest leting her be

just look what happened to me .

 

 

 

Author's Note

no it is not a true story , and no i'm not insane to think this one up because Tess helped me with it when she was out in Tenessee .
