Willow Trees Bend - Bonnie "Prince" Billy

Willow trees bend

But I won’t bend

I will never lay down

For every man alive

There’s a fire

And for every king a crown

My world’s been rocked before

And it will be rocked again

By a tremor or a howling wind

And lord if you demand

If the world at large asks of me

I will surrender to you

We have a power

All animals do

When faced with your fire

I will surrender to you

Fun to joy the aim

So we live forever

They may mock us but we do

The river carries on

Clouded with what we’ve done

The deeds of me and you

We have a power

All animals do

When faced with your fire

I will surrender to you
