I went back today to the place where I was born
Where all my memories toss like an ocean in a storm
Standing by the willow tree
Waiting for the rain to come
Something inside of me
Made me feel young
When I was still a girl in the house where I grew tall
My father said to me, it's the oak tree that will fall
Notice how the willow tree
Is bending as the rain comes down
But notice the willow tree
Still wears a crown
I know a part of me
When the wind blows
A flowing willow tree
When the wind blows
When the cold wind blows
I went back today to the place where I grew up
Where dreams are left behind like communion in a cup
Standing by the willow tree
Watching as the lights went on
I found a part of me
I thought was gone
I know a part of me
When the wind blows
A flowing willow tree
When the wind blows
When the cold wind blows
I know a part of me
When the wind blows
A flowing willow tree
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
When the cold wind blows
