Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song sitting out behind my parents house late one night under the weeping willow tree by the lake. I was trying to sort out my failing marriage and seeking some kind of wisdom.

Lyrics
I slip into the moonlight to be alone
Hoping a wise old owl will council me
And staring at the water and skippin? stones
Tryin? to put my mind at ease
Oh when will I learn to walk out without the hurt
Ever since our love began
I keep askin? myself when will I ever learn
To take it like a man
Well you can turn a cold shoulder and walk away
You know it?s not that simple for me
How can you stand there and not feel pain
And brush it off so easily
Oh when will I learn to walk out without the hurt
Ever since our love began
I keep askin? myself when will I ever learn
To take it like a man
I can hear those crickets singing their sweet love song
And I take some comfort from their plight
But that old weepin? willow ain?t cryin?alone
We?ll get each other through the night
Oh when will I learn to walk out without the hurt
Ever since our love began
I keep askin? myself when will I ever learn
To take it like a man
