Story behind the song
This song starts and ends intimately with vocal and piano. In between the bookend chorus's, electric guitars and driving percussion/bass bring the emotion-filled vocals to a climax. Trying to capture the melodic qualities of my own Scottish heritage, the melody owes some credit to Celtic influences.
Lyrics
willow weep for me
and all that nests in my family tree
companion, martyr, prophet, thief
willow weep for me
when the river runs dry
and my time passes by
send for my love to wait by the door
and I will quietly wait, out her days
to live forever more
willow weep for me
and all that nests in my family tree
companion, martyr, prophet, thief
willow weep for me
I've seen the crystal sky
slowly turn to night
I've taken shelter in your shade
scaled the mountain top
just to climb back down
and still watch her slowly fade
willow weep for me
and all that nests in my family tree
companion, martyr, prophet, thief
willow weep for me
and all that nests in my family tree
leaves and valleys and moonlit beams
treasure and tragedy and all that it seems...
willow weep for me...
