Capo on 3 Under the willow tree, that's where I wait for you to come back to me, but you're so far away. I just sit by here in the morning sun, and I wait under the willow tree. It was a bitter seed that you left that day when you walked out my door screaming "Get out of my face!" I took all your hurtin' words, I took your bad deeds and I buried 'em deep underneath that tree. Under the willow tree, that's where I wait for you to come back to me, but you're so far away. I just sit by here in the morning sun, and I wait under the willow tree. But such beauty grew from bitterness. Oh how it's helped to heal this heavy heart, oh and I want you to know, yeah that it's ok. If you come back I would welcome you like it was yesterday. Under the willow tree, that's where I wait for you to come back to me, but you're so far away. I just sit by here in the morning sun, and I wait under the willow tree. Oh, but I'm not asking you for union, no-no. I want your promise to be true oh, 'Cos I've been around the world, honey I've seen enough to know - there aint nobody else. I'd rather walk with you. Under the willow tree, that's where I wait for you to come back to me, but you're so far away. I just sit right here and I play my guitar, and I wait under the willow tree. Under the willow tree.
