lyrics
Down, down by the ocean side
There's a willow who weeps for me
She saw my love go cast his life
To the waves that hold tight like the weeds
Their violet tongues, they swept the shore
They swallowed his body whole
And while the wind, she screams for more
I wait for the tide to unfold
My love, he knew, someday, somehow
I'd bring his body home
Even if I had to lay me down
Beside his bag of bones
Down, down by the oceanside
There's a willow who weeps for me
She saw me wipe my tear dimmed eyes
And follow my love to the sea
And follow my love to the sea
And follow my love to the sea
There's a willow who weeps for me
She saw my love go cast his life
To the waves that hold tight like the weeds
Their violet tongues, they swept the shore
They swallowed his body whole
And while the wind, she screams for more
I wait for the tide to unfold
My love, he knew, someday, somehow
I'd bring his body home
Even if I had to lay me down
Beside his bag of bones
Down, down by the oceanside
There's a willow who weeps for me
She saw me wipe my tear dimmed eyes
And follow my love to the sea
And follow my love to the sea
And follow my love to the sea
