Familiar Traces

Underneath The Willow Tree

The birds coo quiet as dawn will break, And silence falls upon the nest they make It all comes in, to go to sleep The wild dogs howl, the possums weep

They all meet to say hello And rest now for the day is old Here underneath the old willow Many a creatures story told

The dogs of the water, The birds of the skies, Many a tall tail, many a lie

Not made to impress Nor to make you weep Only to help you rest Only to help you sleep

As the dust falls in the forest And the sun will say goodnight, Underneath the willow Everything's alright.
