--- Quote from: KULPDOGG on October 02, 2013, 10:39:36 am ---here's my input.
still, I don't think I'm 100% correct, but I do think I fixed a lot of things.
Find him a love, go build a cabin
If I lay under the tree, carve him a wish
On your knees, plant seeds
The dirt make you roads
Where the devil don't sing
Love is green, so lucky to find ya
Our memories, they don't stay behind us
Our minds are strong
Could it be enough to break straight through the holes?
An arm of the willow is hanging above me
And I'm back in the sun
Would it fall upon me?
I won't let you down
The man you will keep safe, my love
Safe, my love
The soil of the Earth, a blanket, a bounty
In the dreams, in the prayers
The devil dries empty a baby's eyes
The ritual purifies every design
An arm of the willow keeps hanging above me
I'm back in the sun
Would it fall upon me?
I won't let you down
The man you will keep safe, my love
The man you will keep safe, my love
The man you will keep safe, my love
Arm of the willow is hanging above me
I'm back in the sun
Would it fall upon me?
I won't let you down
The man you will keep safe
Let you down
The man you will keep safe
Let you down
The man you will keep safe, my love
Safe, my love

--- End quote ---
Yes, tonight she just said Willows.
I love willow trees, I wish I had one in my yard. I've always wanted one since I was younger.
teresa:
The chorous actually goes -- Arm of weeping willow is hanging above me
I didn't hear it at first but in the audio from Rick you can hear it clearly...
Fred_Saboya:
Find a love, go build a cabin.
Find land under the tree, carving a wish,
on your knees, planting seeds, the dirt making roads
where the devil don't see.
Love, i agree, so lucky it'll find you.
Our memories, they don't stay behind us, our minds are strong,
could it be enough to bring strength to the bones?
Arm weeping willow is hanging above me.
On my back in the sun, would it fall upon me?
I won't let you down, and man you will keep safe my love.
Safe my love.
Soil of the earth, a blanket, a bounty,
and the dance is a purse the devil drives empty in a baby's eyes.
The ritual purifies every desire.
Arm weeping willow is hanging above me.
On my back in the sun, would it fall upon me?
I won't let you down, and man you will keep safe my love.
Man you will keep safe my love,
man you will keep safe my love.
Arm weeping willow hanging above me.
On my back in the sun, would it fall upon me?
I won't let you down, and man you will keep safe,
let you down, and man you will keep safe,
let you down, and man you will keep safe my love.
Safe my love,
safe my love,
safe my love.
that's actually what i hear (from the world cafe live performance).
Weisz:
I hear this:
Find a love, go build a cabin.
Find land and a tree and carve in a wish
on your knees, planting seeds, the dirt making roads
where the devil don't see.
I kind of hear "our" instead of "arm" everytime, but i dont know :)
I really like this song, specially the melody.
