Old Man Willow

In the old forest at the edge of the creek
Stands the old rotten-hearted willow tree
His roots go way down, way down deep
And if you're not careful he'll put you to sleep

When you're in the forest if you're listening
You can hear the branches whispering
But I ain't dropping no eaves today
Cause I don't really want to know what they have to say

I've got to find some room to breathe
Where can I go where I'll be free?
Old man willow, keep your roots far away from me

Old man willow I'm begging you please
I just want to be left in one piece
I spend my days keeping an eye on you
But I'm starting to think that you're watching me too

Old man willow can act real nice
He'll offer you free candy and some clicks and likes
But once you realize what he's getting at
It's too late and he's got you right in his grasp

I've got to find some room to breathe
Where can I go where I'll be free?
Old man willow, keep your roots far away from me

What a tangled web those branches weave
The air is getting hot and it's hard to breathe
You better make sure the water level is high
Cause Old man willow will drain you dry

In the old forest at the edge of the stream
I think I'm falling into a dream
I've got to get away, away from this scene
Or old man willow'll be the depth of me

I've got to find some room to breathe
Where can I go where I'll be free?
Old man willow, keep your roots far away from me

I've got to find some room to breathe
Where can I go where I'll be free?
Old man willow, keep your roots far away from me
