Weeping Willow

Wind is blowing, snow is driving
 Rain is lashing, lightning's crashing
 As I lay beneath this willow tree
 I sit my back against the stone
 Come the morning war is dawning
 Can't escape what's coming after me
 And I tremble now not for fear of death
 The steely blade or the devil's breath
 I just want to see your face again
 Tryin' to keep my thoughts together
 They unravel, come untethered
 This weather's trying to get inside of me
 I pulled your picture from my buggy
 Like a hair inside this locket
 It's all I've got to keep my sanity
 And I tremble now not for fear of death
 The steely blade or the devil's breath
 I just want to see your face again
 Lord give me strength to see it through
 To stand up tall, fight bold and true
 I know exactly what I have to do
 Underneath tomorrow's skies
 I promise I won't flinch or fly
 I swear I'll make it for the sake of you
 And I tremble now not for fear of death
 The steely blade or the devil's breath
 I just want to see your face again
 I chase the sound of laughter in my dreams
 But everything is different from what it seems to be
 I see the shadow through the dark
 Haunting shades of happiness from times with you before
 Light comes softly without warning
 I lift my eyes to meet the morning
 Time has come to face reality
 Oh I feel you place your hand in mine
 You beckon me across that line
 Just one more step into eternity
 And I tremble now not for fear of death
 The steely blade or the devil's breath
 Oh I just want to see your face again
 Oh, to see your face again
 Yeah, oh, to see your face again
 Yeah, oh, to see your face again
 Yeah, to see your face again
 Oh, to see your face again
