Cherry Tree

Why do I feel rejected

My passion misdirected

I turned for consolation

To the weeping cherry tree



Our fates are tied together

The leaves are all a shiver

The fruit begins to wither

And falls early from the tree



Follow that old weeping cherry tree

Follow that old weeping cherry tree



Take me home and lead me

Lead me silent to your table

Feed me your caresses

Far from the weeping cherry tree



And as my eyes are closing

Or tears fall without warning

I need to feel the blossom

Of kisses cool upon my brow



Follow that old weeping cherry tree

Follow that old weeping cherry tree

Follow that old weeping cherry tree

Follow that old weeping cherry tree
