Story Behind The Song
The lyrics are about a tree. It's a great sound for the more sophisticated listener. Though my recording is of a female singer I think this would go well for a male as well.
Song Description
This has a nice Brazilian rhythm with a great flute solo. The chord changes are a little more comlex than your average tune, but it works great for the more serious listener.

Lyrics
Willow weep
The world's asleep tonight
It'll be all right
Don't you know you'll see the morning light
Willow tree
You comfort me somehow
Every pretty bough
You'll be here a thousand years from now
And when you feel sad
you're feelin' real bad
We can always ask the wind to play
You make me so mad
You oughta know that
a willow will bend but never break
Willow tree
I know you've seen some rain
but you can stand the strain
Don't you know you'll see the sun again
I know you feel sad
You're feelin' real bad
We can always ask the wind to play
You make me so mad
You oughta know that
a willow will bend but never break
Willow tears
For years you've carried on
Still the lonely one
You'll be here long after I'll be gone
