Little Willow
Paul McCartney · Flaming Pie
Bend little Willow
Winds gonna blow you hard and cold tonight.
Life as it happens,
No body warns you, Willow hold on tight.
Nothings gonna shake your love,
Take your love away.
No ones out to break your heart,
It only seems that way.
Sleep little willow,
Peace is gonna follow,
Time will heal your wounds.
Grow to the heavens.
Now and forever,
Always came too soon.
Little Willow
Nothings gonna shake your love,
Take your love away.
No ones out to break your heart,
It only seems that way.
Bend little willow,
Winds gonna blow you hard and cold tonight.
Life as it happens,
No body warns you, Willow hold on tight.

Little Willow
Paul McCartney's "Little Willow" serves as a tender, acoustic centerpiece on his 1987 album *Flaming Pie*. Recorded with his son Sean, the track exemplifies McCartney's late-career return to folk and country influences, blending his signature melodic sensibility with a stripped-down arrangement. The song reflects a nostalgic and reflective mood, characteristic of the album's broader exploration of personal history and Americana. As part of his extensive discography, this recording highlights McCartney's versatility and his ability to craft intimate, resonant ballads that resonate across generations of listeners.
