Weeping Willow Trees

V. 1

keep your head held high my baby

even weeping willows stand proud when they cry like me

gave you every lily of valley

It broke me down when you said you haven't been feeling happy

got me racing 99 down an empty 45

Billie Holiday on the radio

we don’t really got nowhere to go

Chorus

sunsets up ahead, heaven’s in the sky

nothing really matters, you got me by your side

You’re very kind

And you make me believe

Honey you’re beautiful

Leave the sadness to me

V. 2

you couldn’t tell nobody else but you knew you could keep faith in me

felt so beautiful being held in your drunken arms, ignored the truth so violently

believed you when i said i was the only one, honey and i think i still do,

love you forever and endlessly even if that makes me the fool

Got me racing 99 down an empty 45

Elvis playing on the radio

We don’t really got nowhere to go

Chorus 

sunsets up ahead, heaven’s in the sky

nothing really matter, you got me by your side

You’re very kind

And you make me believe

Honey you’re beautiful

Leave the sadness to me

Bridge

Gold chains dripping from your neck

Tattooed down to your wrists

Honey you’re the fucking best

I’ll make up for the rest

I’ll be the one doing all the crying

Chorus / Outro 

You’re very kind

And you make me believe

Honey you’re beautiful

Leave the sadness to me
