The Green Willow Valley

The Green Willow Valley - Kelly Hogan

Like the moon pools on the water

And water pulls the sand

Like starlight drifts a billion years

To flicker once above your head

Circadas in the oak tree

Are singing to the sky

And I am calling out to you across this lonely night

Come back to the valley

The green willow valley

In the cool of evening

I'm waiting here for you

Can you feel the wings of birds

Unfold across the sky

Can you hear the blades of grass calling to the light

THere are rivers underground

Rushing cold and wild

And I am calling out to you

Across this lonely night

Come back to the valley

The green willow valley

In the cool of evening

I'm waiting here for you

And we lie under the willows

On of a bed of fallen leaves

I will bring you apples

And water from the stream

I will pull the thorns from your blistered feet

Can't you hear me calling

In the whispers of the trees

Come back to the valley

The green willow valley

In the cool of the evening

I'm waiting here for you
