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
