The Wailin' Jennys - Cherry Blossom Love lyrics
Your rating:
She waited under wildwood, under maple and pine Wondering when her cherry blossom love would arrive He once was a young man in love with a girl like me They'd sit alone together under a cherry blossom tree Time would turn their sunny day like magic into dusk A single moment suddenly a year passed by in love But then he was gone He was gone She searched for him then sat beneath their tree and sang this song I'll wait for your return my love under our cherry blossom tree And if you cannot meet me there I'll try another tree I'll sit beneath a hemlock I'll sit below a pine I'll sit under the peach tree where you told me you were mine I'll wait for you through winter when all the leaves have died I'll wait for you to come to me with snow tears in my eyes All is gone from me today and till the end of time Her hair grew gray and blossoms layered her body like a vine The blossoms planted seeds and cherries fell across her chest They covered the ground around and muffled her request The Cherry lady laden with the saddest fruit to bear The sweetest juice left bitter proof of love's uncertain care Cause he was gone He was gone She searched for him then sat beneath their tree and sang this song I'll wait for your return my love under our cherry blossom tree and if you cannot meet me there I'll never ever be free
