Weeping Willow

I give you twelve roses, you show me the stem\nYou just pretend\nI give you twelve matches, you show me some bark\nIt’s not from your heart\nIf she was a psychic there’s no way I’d risk it with my future\nIf she was a general I’d charge her with treason\n'Cause a weeping willow is falling with grace\nFalling with grace\nI show you the river, you show me the stream\nYou just act the scene\nBut if I gave you nothing you’d show me the door so I give you some more\nIf she was a broker there’s no way I’d trust her with my future\nIf she was a general I’d charge her with treason\nCome brothers to Babylon\nWe’ll all go marching on and love for all time\nWeak talking man you’ll find no more, no more\nSo carry your future strong\nIf you don’t play along love for all time\nWeak talking man you’ll find no more, no more\nOh yeah\nI give you twelve roses, you show me the stem\nYou just pretend\nI give you twelve matches, you show me some bark\nIt’s not from your heart\nIf she was a psychic there’s no way I’d risk it with my future\nIf she was a general I’d charge her with treason\nBut a weeping willow is rising with grace\nRising with grace\nRising with grace\nOh look at me now\nRising with grace\nSay look at me now\nRising with grace\nRising with grace
