Green Willow Valley Songtext
von The Handsome Family

Like the moon pulls on the water and the water pulls the sand
Like starlight drifts a billion years to flicker once above your head
The cicadas as in the oak trees are singing to the sky
And I am calling out to you across this silent night

Come back to the valley,
The green willow valley
In the cool of the evening,
I′m waiting here for you


Can you feel the wings of birds whisper cross the sky
Can you hear the blades of grass calling to the light
There are rivers underground rushing cold and wild
And I am calling out to you from across the lonely night

Come back to the valley,
The green willow valley
In cool of the evening,
I'm waiting here for you

We′ll lie under the willows in a bed of fallen leaves
I will bring you apples and water from the stream
I will pull the thorns from your blistered feet
Can't you hear me calling in the whisper of the trees


Come back to the valley,
The green willow valley
In cool of the evening,
I'm waiting here for you
