Little Willow (Paul McCartney—Black Bird Singing/Poems and Lyrics)
Bend little willow
Wind’s going to blow you
Hard and cold tonight
Life, as it happens
Nobody warns you
Willow, hold on tight
Nothing’s gonna shake your love
Take your love away
No one’s out to break your heart
It only seems that way
Sleep little willow
Sleep gonna follow
Time will heal your wounds
Grow to the heavens
Now and forever
Always came to soon
Little willow
Nothing’s gonna shake your love
Take your love away
No one’s out to break your heart
It only seems that way
Bend little willow
Wind’s going to blow you
Hard and cold tonight
Life, as it happens
Nobody warns you
Willow, hold on tight
Ah, little willow
Little willow
