Lyrics

On Willow Road
I've got a friend I used to live with
Back when we slept away the morning hours
And drank away the night
We’d sit and lie about our women
Try to justify our dreams
Then we’d write our lonely poems till the morning

Lonely poems and lonely wishes
For the dreams we'd never own
And the riddles that were much too hard
To solve at night alone on Willow Road

On Willow Road
Lives a woman who once loved me
With trusting eyes midnight cries
And falling slow red hair
She was afraid of simple dangers
I was afraid of simple fears
And I left her simple poems in the morning

Simple poems of simple patterns
On a quilted summer sky
And the riddles that grew stranger still
The harder that we'd try on Willow Road

Instrumental Break

Simple poems of simple patterns
On a quilted summer sky
And the riddles that grew stranger still
The harder that we'd try

On Willow Road
There’s a house that's old but friendly
With Mommy please some more of these
And fresh grown garden peas
It gets me high when they're all laughing
But it's not like my own home
Where I can write my lonely poems till the morn
‘til the morning
