her weary heavy head in
the gallows and the graves of
the milky, milky cradle
his tears have turned to poppies
a shimmer in the midnight
a flower in the twilight

and our scream is in his screaming
our screaming in the willow tree

they took him to the gallows
he fought them all the way
and when they asked us how we knew his name
we died just before him
our eyes are in the flowers
our hands are in the branches
our voices in the breezes
and our scream is in his screaming
our screaming in the willow tree

we're waiting by the willow
our milky, milky cradle
our lockets long have rusted
his picture worn and weathered
our hair is in the garden
our voices in our toses
our hearts are in the blossoms
our eyes are in the branches
and our screaming is in his screaming
our screaming in the willow tree
