The Willow And The Builder Oh Willow! (Why Wallow?) lyrics

I was lying down beneath my favorite tree
Thinking of the days when you were in love with me
And with that memory I slowly fell asleep
Then there you were again inside my dream

And we were walking through a winter wonderland
But then the seasons changed
And summer came and brought the rain again
I heard you whistling while you wore your favorite dress
You blew a kiss to me
And whispered things that I did not expect

Then we went dancing at the bottom of the sea
A band of barnacles all hummed and strummed

And drummed for you and me
And all the bragginflies and humble bumble bees
Abandoned land to dance on sand and rest their wings

When I awoke I was alone and day had gone
But in my sleepy state I softly sang this song

Willow, why, why, why wallow?
You've never known a broken heart
Willow, why, why, why, why wallow?
Just close your eyes and let it start
