Music: Matt Sax/Eric Rosén
The poor girl sat alone under her Sycamore tree
The poor girl hand on her heart
And her head on her knee
And the river washed by and her thoughts would lie
In the clouds over the sea
Alone, awake, her mind would race into her dreams
And tear drops fall
Down to the ground where the stones do lie
And the fish fly by they can hear her sigh
Breathe child breathe
Unsure of what the balance held
The girl grew up into herself
And met the man she always dreamed to meet
And he would kiss her endlessly
Breathlessly she'd fall asleep
In his arms beneath his tender wings
Breathe child breathe
When the man had got his way
He disappeared without a trace
And the girl is left alone under her Sycamore tree
And tear drops fall
Breathe child breathe
And the wind cried Willow, Willow, Willlow
Get your head up off the pillow, pillow, pillow
And the wind cried Willow, Willow, Willlow
Get your head up off the pillow, pillow, pillow
I dreamed a dream and so it seems
That littl girls have fantasies
I dreamed a dream and so it seems
That little girls have fantasies
Little girls have fantasies
Look around look around look around
We are all the play things of men in this town
Look around, what you'll find, what you'll see
Is that men could careless bout your fantasy
Believe me
Deceiving, conniving, contriving
That light can be
Blinding with flowers in their hands
But pockets full of dust
Ain't no trust in a man
With flowers in their hands
But pockets full of dust
Ain't no trust in a man
Why am I stuck in this lie (My life spent in hiding)
I should've known better than to trust his eyes (Only him to confide in)
I should've known better should've read the signs (See I had him no denying)
Cause all my life I've been left behind (That this love's worth dying)
I'm as foolish as I ever was (I came here because)
Thought this time was different
Thought it would be better cause (I believed in his love)
I thought the world had changed
It's the same as it ever was (And I believed in the cause)
Looking for a better love
But you can't bet on love (But I've been acting so young)
This girl's life is changed
(If I can change)
And I am to blame (Show me the way)
How can I explain (A way to erase )
These mistakes I've made
I wanted to love and be loved
I wanted to love and be loved
I wanted to love and be loved
But instead I've come undone
I can be there for her
(This is my time)
Like he isn't there for me
(To make it right)
But how do I tell her
That she has been deceived? (It's all in me)
By me
By me (It's all in me)
By me (It's all in me)
And the wind cried Willow, Willow, Willlow
Get your head up off the pillow, pillow, pillow
And the wind cried Willow, Willow, Willlow
Get your head up off the pillow, pillow, pillow
I dreamed a dream and so it seems
That little girls have fantasies
I dreamed a dream and so it seems
That little girls have fantasies
