Kelly Hogan The Green Willow Valley lyrics

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
