somewhere there s an old man willow weeping all alone people laugh at him sit and stare everywhere he doesn t care he just sits there by his river gazing at the sky what s the reason why is he there anywhere the people don t know why he sits there and cries they think he s got a secret but they don t realize he s just hot he s got a fly on his shoulder he wants to swat it off but his limbs have grown older he s tired and sick and that he can t walk away to find some shade like he has made for others of the he stopped to look at the sun one day he didn t realize he would be there to stay it doesn t matter what the people think he just want s to get out of the sun and find a place where he can go to sleep somewhere there s an old man willow weeping tears of rain wind blows in his eyes as they stare everywhere
