When the wind blows

I went back today
To the place where i was born
Where all my memories toss
Like an ocean in a storm

Standing by the willow tree
Waiting for the rain to come
Something inside of me
Made me feel young

When i was still a girl
In the house where i grew tall
My father said to me
It's the oak tree that will fall

Notice how the willow tree
Is bending as the rain comes down
But notice the willow tree
Still wears a crown

I know a part of me
When the wind blows
A flowing willow tree
When the wind blows
When the cold wind blows

I went back today
To the place where i grew up
Where dreams are left behind
Like communion in a cup

Standing by the willow tree
Watching as the lights went on
I found a part of me
I thought was gone

I know a part of me
When the wind blows
A flowing willow tree
When the wind blows
When the cold wind blows
