weeping Willow

Weeping Willow

CHORUS
Weeping willow, weeping willow, where does she get her name
Weeping willow, weeping willow weeps again and again

The walls of Jerusalem had been thrown to the ground
The smoke of her destruction rolled like a thick black cloud
The hordes of Babylon rolled with a thunderous shaking sound
As the city  burned to the ground, as the city  burned to the ground

CHORUS

The cries of her children filled her streets, while sorrow fell like rain
The blood of her princes spilled out like wine upon the drain
The wailing of her desperate mothers, as her children were led away in chains
Her Fathers and her fatherless restrained, 2x

CHORUS

silence like leopards creeped through  her empty bloodstained streets
Her priest have all been silenced while her weeping prophets weeps
The blanket of darkness had fallen upon her bruised and battered cheeks
Jerusalem in pain-filled horror Shrieked 2x

CHORUS

By the rivers of Babylon, they sat and wept grieving for their homeland
They hung their harps upon the willow trees, as her capturers demanded
Joyous songs of victory, their grieving hearts could not withstand it
They ached to see homeland once again 2x


Did you ever wonder where the weeping willow got is name?
She wept for Jerusalem's fallen glory, and  her mournful shame
For her sons and her daughters now slaves of Babylonia's domain
as long as injustice remains she'll weep again and again
as long as injustice remains she'll weep again and again


CHORUS.
