Willow Tree
Slackwax Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now that the cold wounds have mended
I promise I'll be waiting by the door
Unlike so many nights before
That night you found me in the living room
Alone with the bottle I'd just consumed
I cried for hours after you had left
Must be hard to forgive, even harder to forget
You might not recognize that you see
Take the second right at the second light
Pass cherry street go left
It's the second house with the willow tree
I'll be there waiting
Now that I've watched all the seasons change
I've had time to see where my life had strayed
And through every pain and disbelief
Oh, you stood close by through my lies, through my deceit
So do you recall how to get here
You might not recognize what you see
Take the second right at the second light
Pass cherry street go left
It's the second house with the willow tree
I'll be there waiting
Through my selfishness
Couldn't see where you were coming from
It took your leaving to see to see what I'd become
You saw past all the things I'd done
Take the second right at the second light
Pass cherry street go left
It's the second house with the willow tree
I'll be there waiting
I'll be there waiting
I'll be there waiting
You never forgot how to get there
You never forgot how to get there
You never forgot how to get there
Enjoy the lyrics!!!
The song "Willow Tree" by Slackwax speaks of a reunion between two people who had previously been in a difficult relationship. The singer of the song admits to his mistakes, having been alone with a bottle in the living room on a previous night while his loved one left him crying. However, after having time to reflect and see the error of his ways, the singer promises to be waiting for them by the door. He provides directions to his house, with the second right and second light, and mentions a willow tree in the second house. Through his selfishness, he couldn't see where the other person was coming from, but after they left, he realized what he had become. Despite this, his loved one never forgot how to get to him, and they were able to reunite.
The song captures the emotions of regret, reflection, and hope in a mature relationship. The singer is willing to admit fault and take responsibility for their actions, indicating growth and a desire to make things right. The second chance that the singer is asking for shows resilience and perseverance in their relationship, despite challenges and past mistakes. The mention of the willow tree could symbolize beauty, grace, and resilience in nature, which could stand for the relationship that the singer is trying to rebuild.

It will be great to see you again
I am excited to see you once more
Now that the cold wounds have mended
Now that our past hurts have healed
I promise I'll be waiting by the door
I will be waiting for your arrival
Unlike so many nights before
Unlike the nights when I didn't wait for you
That night you found me in the living room
The night you discovered me alone in the living room
Alone with the bottle I'd just consumed
Drinking alone with the pain I felt
I cried for hours after you had left
I was left to cry for hours after you had departed
Must be hard to forgive, even harder to forget
It must be difficult to forgive and even more difficult to forget
So do you recall how to get there
Do you remember how to get to my home?
You might not recognize that you see
Things might have changed since you last came here
Take the second right at the second light
Turn right at the second traffic light
Pass cherry street go left
After you pass Cherry Street, turn left
It's the second house with the willow tree
My house is the second one with the willow tree
I'll be there waiting
I will be there, waiting for you
Now that I've watched all the seasons change
After observing all the changes in nature
I've had time to see where my life had strayed
I've had time to reflect on where my life went off course
And through every pain and disbelief
Despite all the suffering and doubt
Oh, you stood close by through my lies, through my deceit
You were always there, even when I was dishonest and untrustworthy
Through my selfishness
Because of my self-centered behavior
Couldn't see where you were coming from
I was unable to understand your perspective
It took your leaving to see to see what I'd become
It took your departure for me to recognize who I had become
You saw past all the things I'd done
You were able to look beyond my mistakes and faults
You never forgot how to get there
You never forgot how to find my home
I'll be there waiting
I will be there, waiting for you
I'll be there waiting
I will be there, waiting for you
I'll be there waiting
I will be there, waiting for you

You asked for the lyrics, here you go.
Willow Tree
See the break of dawn
The night will soon be gone
But I got to go
First laid eyes upon you
When I saw you standing there
All alone and forsaken
Out in the darkness
Your hair as dark as the river
Winding it"s way to the sea
Your eyes so deep
As the ocean
See the break of dawn
The night will soon be gone
But I leave you in the morning
In the morning
Tears they come crawling
Down your pretty cheek
When the night is over
I will be long gone
I hear your voice calling
Where ever I may be
Soft as the branches
Of the willow tree
All across the mountain
And thru valley too
Yes I’ve been traveling
To get to you
See the break of dawn
The night will soon be gone
But I leave you in the morning
In the morning
Tears they come crawling
Down your pretty cheek
When the night is over
I will be long gone
