lyrics

I wake up, and the dread sets in
Are the birds singing or crying?
Hell, I don't know.
I keep telling myself, "you're ok"

I can hear my mama say everything will be alright
The world won't wait around for you to make up your mind

So, willow, go on and hang down your head
It's alright to be sad from time to time
But the wind it does not whisper
No, it cries run, run, run

The night can be an empty, chilling thing
So sometimes I fill it up with music and wine
One for yesterday, one for tomorrow, the rest for today

I can hear my mama say everything will be alright
But the world won't wait around for you to make up your mind

So, willow, go on and hang down your head
It's alright to be sad from time to time
But the wind it does not whisper
No, it cries run, run, run
