The Wailing of the Willow Songtext
von Harry Nilsson

Listen to the wailing of the willow
Listen to me crying on my pillow
Crying for I know my love is gone from me

Living in a world of different places
Looking at a million different faces
Yet I see a face in every face I see


Love must lack a sense of humor
It laughs when other people cry
Love would love to hear the rumor
That you and I have finally said goodbye

I know that every heart was made for breaking
And my love was ready for the taking
Still I won′t complain for someday love will call again

Must I take a memory as a token
To replace a heart that love has broken?
Will the wailing willow always weep for me?

Must I see a face in every face I see
Listen to the wailing of the willow tree
