Lyrics
Willee
Willee, when you called me I just couldn't bear to grin
It's funny how the time has grown so thin
You were a child then and I was barely grown
I never thought we'd both be here alone
Willee, you believed in all the days spent in the meadow
Holding on too long, pushing down the petals
Willee, I was dreaming while the wind swept off the bay
Holding on too long, pushing the days away
Still just not believing that you're gone
...and you won't be here for so long
Willee, when they told us all good things come to an end
They never told us why, or warned us when
Time, on its ruthless flight, with our backs turned the other way
Swept down and took our days away
Willee, you believed in all the days spent in the meadow
Holding on too long, foot down to the metal
Willee, I was dreaming while the wind swept off the bay
Holding on too long, wishing the days away
Still just not believing that you're gone
...and you won't be here for so long
I think I need someone to hold me
But there's not anyone in sight
Why did we have to leave
Just to make it right
Willee, I just need someone who knows me
I can't keep going on this way
Why did we ever let each other slip away
How could we ever let each other slip away
Willee, you believed in all the days spent in the meadow
Holding on too long, pushing down the pedals
Willee, I was dreaming while the wind swept off the bay
Holding on too long, pushing the days away
Still just not believing that you're gone
...and you won't be here for so long
