Pussy Willow Lyrics
In the half-tone light of a young morning
she sighs and shifts on the pillow.
And across her face dancing, the first shadows fly
to kiss the Pussy Willow.
In her fairy-tale world she's a lost soul singing
in a sad voice nobody hears.
She waits in her castle of make-believing
for her white knight to appear.
Pussy Willow -- down fur-lined avenue
brushing the sleep from her young woman eyes.
Runs for the train -- see, eight o'clock's coming
cutting dreams down to size again
Pussy Willow -- down fur-lined avenue
brushing the sleep from her young woman eyes.
Runs from the train. Hear her typewriter humming
cutting dreams down to size again.
She longs for the Est and a pale dress flowing
an apartment in old Mayfair.
Or to fish the Sprey, spinning the first run of Spring
or to die for a cause somewhere.
Pussy Willow -- down fur-lined avenue
brushing the sleep from her young woman eyes.
Runs from the train. Hear her typewriter humming
cutting dreams down to size again.

This is a song about a woman who dreams of being something greater than she is. Sadly, when her alarm sounds her dream world shatters and she goes through her dreary, boring day. However, like a pussy willow tree, she bends but never breaks.
Dot Com's "She Bends Like a Willow" has a similar theme to this song.
Fryeguy, you're an idiot.
@Krendall2006 In fairness, I was 13, too, when this first came out and thought similar on first hearing the chorus. I think it\'s quite deliberately written like that.\r\n

"Or to die for a cause somewhere." Made think of Rachel Corrie. But I do, often.
Maybe the best on the album. Broadsword is it's only true competition.
