The Sorrow Tree Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Down, my love
And held nowhere
He will come and meet me there
Oh. he'll wait for me
Beneath the sorrow tree
[Chorus]
Ooooh
Beneath the sorrow tree
Ooooh
Beneath the sorrow tree
[Verse 2]
Tell my love I'm waiting there
Oh, and he'll know where
My love will mourn for me
Beneath the sorrow tree
[Chorus]
Ooooh
Beneath the sorrow tree
Ooooh
Beneath the sorrow tree
Ooooh
Beneath the sorrow tree
Ooooh
Beneath the sorrow tree
Ooooh
Beneath the sorrow tree
Ooooh
Beneath the sorrow tree
Beneath the sorrow tree
Beneath the sorrow tree
Beneath the sorrow tree
Beneath the sorrow tree
Down, my love
And held nowhere
He will come and meet me there
Oh. he'll wait for me
Beneath the sorrow tree
Ooooh
Beneath the sorrow tree
Ooooh
Beneath the sorrow tree
Tell my love I'm waiting there
Oh, and he'll know where
My love will mourn for me
Beneath the sorrow tree
Ooooh
Beneath the sorrow tree
Ooooh
Beneath the sorrow tree
Beneath the sorrow tree
Ooooh
Beneath the sorrow tree
Beneath the sorrow tree
Ooooh
Beneath the sorrow tree
Beneath the sorrow tree
Beneath the sorrow tree
Beneath the sorrow tree
Beneath the sorrow tree

Once upon a time, I fell in love with a girl. I took her on a date. We had a great time. But something changed in her and it caused me to change. I desired her, but no longer did I attempt her. It was as if I was scared of her, and she was scared of me, as if we were afraid of hurting each other, of making that next move. We never did make that next move, despite secretly wanting to make it. The interpretation, whether me or her, is that from her perspective, maybe she was always waiting for me to make the next move, and I never did. But she never made a move, either. I sometimes wonder if maybe she's still waiting, for me. Maybe not. Maybe there was that one time when she was trying to tell me.. but.. "oh he'll wait for me" .. but I didn't wait.
It sounds like a woman who lost her love, and she has hope that her love (lover) will come to her. So she waits... underneath the sorrow tree, waiting for her lost love, but her love can only mourn.
