Willow Tree - Steve Von Till

I wish I was a willow tree leaning on a lazy breeze

Moving like a midnight train through rainy Georgia

I wish I was a grain of sand laying in a baby’s hand

Falling like a diamond chain into the ocean

Willow tree is strong enough to bend

Never like the oak that lives in fear of the wind

A grain of sand is all I ever wanted to be

Lay me down and let the water wash over me

I wish I was an old guitar sitting in a beat up car

Hitting every two bit bar from here to Texas

I wouldn’t be ashamed to look up my old friends

They’d be so glad to see me strung up again

A grain of sand is all I ever wanted to be

Lay me down and let the water wash over me

Nobody wants you when you’re down and out

Nobody wants to know your name

Just another face lost in the crowded street

Here in the crowded street

I wish I was a willow tree leaning on a lazy breeze

Moving like a midnight train through rainy Georgia

I wish I was a grain of sand laying in a baby’s hand

Falling like a diamond chain into the ocean

Willow tree is strong enough to bend

Never like the oak that lives in fear of the wind

A grain of sand is all I ever wanted to be

Lay me down and let the water wash over me
