Lyrics
Days of Old (Weeping Willow) (Music and Lyrics: Deadwood Dick © 2006) In a field a, a tree is crying And with a weary limb, it wipes a tearful eye For in its heart, it knows he’s dying It looks back on life; looks up to the sky There was a time not long ago When the air was blue and clear And the sun rayed down upon the earth below Mmm…in the Spring the birds would sing Look back on life, look down from the sky (CHORUS) Weeping willow, where do the days go Those days of old Weeping willow, where do the years go Those days of old Unto this land, came the kings They swore they’d claimed it the name of greed They built their castles, they built their towns They looked back no more - They looked up and cried WAR!! Weeping willow – Weep no more! Like a plague on life’s corruption…yea Spread the wrath across the land Blood money and mass destruction Now there’s nothing left to rule – no (CHORUS) (SOLO) In a field, a soldier’s crying With his weary limb, he wipes a tearful eye For in his heart, he knows he’s dying He looks back on life, looks up to the sky
