By the Willow Tree

I woke up in a time machine
A dream constructed in a dream
All clocks and dials on the walls
And your voice was ringing through the halls
And I stepped out, stood there like a ghost
As I watched my life with you unfold
Since your the one I love the most
Nothing I saw will go un-told

And by the time that you kiss me, by the Willow tree
I'll be more in love with you than you are with me
By the first snow of the season, we will fall apart
And if I die, I'll die of a broken heart

Ohhhhh

And I tried to hold your hand one day
Somehow your fingers slipped away
And tension like a swinging gate
Swung on it's hinges sealed our fate
There's nothing I can do to stop it now
Just hope we find someway, somehow
To pull the pieces back together
Tie the strings, worn and weathered

And by the time that you kiss me, by the Willow tree
I'll be more in love with you than you are with me
By the first snow of the season, we will fall apart
And if I die, I'll die of a broken heart

Ohhhhh

And your words came out so mean and cold
So doubtful and so cynical
But underneath the way you speak
I found a harsh reality
And you lost your faith in me and you
And all the things we planned to do
And how could love just drift away?
Why can't we find another way?

And by the time that you kiss me, by the Willow tree
I'll be more in love with you than you are with me
By the first snow of the season, we will fall apart
And if I die, I'll die of a broken heart

Ohhhhh
Ohhhhh
Ohhhhh
