MARY-ENG-CELTIC-02D The Willow Learns the Rain

[Intro] the willow learns the rain by bending lower and I have learned your absence much the same [Verse 1] No proud branch keeps the storm away no locked door teaches night to stay I bent, I broke, I rose again with leaves made tender by the rain [Pre-Chorus] What the heart cannot command it may still understand [Chorus] Willow in rain, whisper me under tell me the soft things survive not every sorrow must open like thunder some become rivers and keep us alive [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 2] Your footsteps faded beyond the lane I counted years by the sound of rain but in each drop, in each blue hour loss found root and turned to flower [Bridge] Bend but do not disappear weep but remain here [Final Chorus] Willow in rain, whisper me under tell me the soft things survive not every sorrow must open like thunder some become rivers and keep us alive [Outro] the willow learns the rain by bending lower
