All of my sorrow
I give it to our mother
Rain flowing out of the gutter
Soaking into the land
Only she can understand

Weeping willow
Crying with me
Weeping willow
As I lay in the shade of her tree
All the flood water
Washes over me
And I take a drink
From her wishing well
Wishing well

Evaporate into the clouds
And float away before I drown
Come back with rain
In spring again
And help us transform

The scientist
The alchemist
The great artist of life
Turns the seeds into trees
And water into wine

Weeping willow
Crying with me
Weeping willow
As I lay in the shade of her tree
All the flood water
Washes over me
And I take a drink
From her wishing well
Wishing well
I wish you well
I wish you well
I wish you well
