True that I saw her hair
like the branch of a tree

Willow dancing on air before covering me
Under cotton and calicoes
Over canopy dapple long ago

True that love in withdrawal
was the weepin' of me
That the sound of the saw

Must be felled for to fight the cold
I fretted fire, but that was long ago
