By the Willow Tree Lyrics

I woke up in a time machine

A dream constructed in a dream

All clocks and dials on the walls

And your voice was ringing through the halls

And I stepped out, stood there like a ghost

As I watched my life with you unfold

Since you're the one I love the most

Nothing I saw will go untold

And by the time that you kiss me by the willow tree

I'll be more in love with you than you are with me

By the first snow of the season, we will fall apart

And if I die, I'll die of a broken heart

Ooo

And I tried to hold your hand one day

Somehow, your fingers slipped away

And tension like a swinging gate

Swung on its hinges, sealed our fate

There's nothing I can do to stop it now

Just hope we find some way, somehow

To pull the pieces back together

Tie the strings all worn and weathered

And by the time that you kiss me by the willow tree

I'll be more in love with you than you are with me

By the first snow of the season, we will fall apart

And if I die, I'll die of a broken heart

Ooo

And your words came out so mean and cold

So doubtful and so cynical

But underneath the way you speak

I found a harsh reality

And you lost your faith in me and you

And all the things we planned to do

And how could love just drift away

Why can't we find another way

And by the time that you kiss me by the willow tree

I'll be more in love with you than you are with me

By the first snow of the season, we will fall apart

And if I die, I'll die of a broken heart

Ooo, oh

Ooo, ooo

Ooo, oh
