The Willow Wept Lyrics

I stood by the banks of a river
and I watched the ripples go by
then I thought of my love's gone
gone off to see
and tears, and tears
you know the tears came coming from my eyes
so I sat beside the bushes of a whole lot of willows
and I wondered just what shall I do
when suddenly a breeze brought the willow to its knees
and I swear, and I swear
you know I swear
that the willow wept too
I was so surprised the tears stopped coming from my eyes
I couldn't believe that the willow wept too
the willow said to me
get off your bending knees
walk on home walk on home
there's nothing we could
so I moved as I wended my way
yeah the willow said dry your tears
cause the lover he is gone
cause the lover he is gone

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
