Under a Willow Tree

Sitting under a willow tree
Looking out at the sea
Wondering where it leads
As my heart stops and bleeds

Hearing the waves crashing
On the rocks below
Up on the beach smashing
As they go to and fro

Seeing the sun setting there
Off the sea a terrible glare
Yet, I notice not that one glance
When we first met this simple chance

Looking carefully at this smile
It surely has been a while
Seeing the twinkle in these eyes
Makes me want to stop and cry

You see the dove
Soaring wild and free
And it's only love
That's pursuing me

Sitting under a willow tree
Looking out at the sea
Wondering where he might be
Unless, knowing it's really me
