Willow Road

Willow Road - Mel Tormé

Du

At dawn you hear the rooster crowing

He says it's time to ride

So all the flowers open their eyes

And when they stretch their feathers

You'd swear a rainbow growed

All along the Willow Road

I know the corn is ripe for husking

But I ain't got the time

I don't care if I make a dime

'Cause money couldn't pay for

The peace of mind I've knowed

Strolling down the Willow Road

City folks

You've got my pity folks

I don't know why you're always on the run

Strange the way

You work all day

To build a house so high it hides the sun

Now the sun is setting

And I gotta hit the hay

Tomorrow is another big day

I'm gonna reap the harvest

Of happiness I've sowed

Down along the Willow Road

I guess that I'm the only dreamer

Whose dreams have all come true

The only thing I gotta do

Is rise and shine each morning

See that no one's changed

Or even rearranged

The road my Willow Road
