The Lotus and the Willow

the tree and another tree
each by the ??
under a heart-shaped knot of roots (?)
connects entire woods
it’s a fine line between solitude and being lonely
like a flower and a tree that were never meant to be
cause it told me
like the lotus and the willow
at the river by the meadow
come the fall she will sleep
and the willow it weeps
like all the star-crossed lovers
say goodbye to one another
like the willow I weep
like the willow I weep
and it’s a cold winter
and a cruel fate
you bend your branches down
i’ll dig my roots into the ground
we used to be so close
we used to be so close
??
??
arched her back for one embrace
bring back our one embrace
are there anything
like the lotus and the willow
at the river by the meadow
come the fall she will sleep
and the willow it weeps
like all the star-crossed lovers
say goodbye to one another
like the willow I weep
like the willow I weep
and it’s a cold winter
and a cruel fate
and it’s a cold winter
and a cruel fate
(instrumental interlude)
like the lotus and the willow
at the river by the meadow
come the fall she will sleep
and the willow he’d weep
like all the star-crossed lovers
say goodbye to one another
like the willow I weep
like the willow I weep
it’s a cold winter
and a cruel fate
