Lily, Henry, and the Willow Trees Songtext
von Marissa Nadler

Lily was a maiden in the castle sea
They found her in the forest
Where the wild willows be
Lily was a maiden in the castle sea
They found her in the forest
Where the wild willows be

RAPE scene:

Singing, Don′t Plead me no!
For I will seize you in the snow
Singing, Don't plead me no!
For I will seize you in the snow


Henry first saw Liliane
Girl of coloured hair
Sitting by the river
With the willows in her hair
Lily hummed a tune she knew
A shanty from the sea
He seized her by her little waist
Against the willow tree

Singing fair thee Oh well
Where you gone, no one can tell
Singing fair thee oh well
Where you gone, no one can tell

Oh, you are worth a million silver pennies
Henry said to Liliane
Oh, you are worth a million silver pennies
Henry said to Liliane
