The Willow Tree Lyrics & Chords By Jane Child

She
She looked a lot like I did
So it was easy
She
Wore painted lips and powdered eyelids
But unlike me did not react
Maybe she even smiled back
You
You must have known where this was going
Was it your first time
You kept playing possum, always knowing
That she was going to be the one
I was the girl she had become
Oh
Oh
Leaves are falling
Though it's only Spring
On the front lawn
From the willow tree
No answer
You just run, run away
And leave your shadow
Under the willow tree
(Under the willow tree)
She was close enough to understudy
And make your payday
She fell into place like easy money
(Easy money)
And let your inhibitions fly
Repair the tear I left inside
Leaves are falling
Though it's only Spring
On the front lawn
From the willow tree
No answer
You just run, run away
And leave your shadow
Under the willow tree
Leaves are falling
Though it's only Spring
On the front lawn
From the willow tree
No answer
You just run, run away
And leave your shadow
Under the willow tree
And she's the real thing
It's really happening
Leaves are falling
Leaves are falling
(Willow tree).
