Willow Tree (New Bottle Old Wine) - Gil Evans

Let me be your weeping willow tree

Surround you with my long limbs

My dear, let me grow in the shade

In the sands by the bank of your river

Let I drink from your streams

The cool breeze fill my leaves

We will sing together

Water over the pebbles

And I’ll be by your side forever

I wish I was a weeping willow tree

I wish I was a weeping willow tree

I wish I was a weeping willow tree

Sweet river caress how softly

Stir my searching roots

Shading the sun in the summers heat

Let I cool you

We have been dancing so long

In the winters freeze and the summers drought

We survive

We belong

Let us sing together

Water over the pebbles

And I’ll be by your side forever

I wish I was your weeping willow tree

I wish I was a weeping willow tree

I wish I was a weeping willow tree

Let us sing together

Water over the pebbles

And I’ll be by your side forever

Let us sing together

Water over the pebbles

And I’ll be by your side forever

We can sing together

Water over the pebbles

And I’ll be by your side forever

Let me be

Your willow tree

Your willow tree
