One of Alton's greatest songs.... listening in September 2024.

[lorenzo_firinu]

They say that once the tear has fallen,
The willow cries eternally
Cry not for me, my willow tree
Don't shed your tears eternally
Cause I have found the love I've searched for
I need your tears no more, no more

So tell where, my weeping willow
And if we'll ever meet again
Cry not for me, my willow tree
Don't shed your tears eternally
Cause I have found the love I've searched for
I need your tears no more, no more

They say the willow cries for someone
And that's when someone's heart is broken
Cry not for me, my willow tree
Don't shed your tears eternally
Cause I have found the love I've searched for
I need your tears no more, no more
