Bilingual
The poor girl sat alone under her sycamore tree,
The poor girl, hand on her heart, and her head on her knee.
And the river washed by,
And her thoughts would lie in the clouds over the sea,
Alone, awake, her mind would race,
Into her dreams.
And tear drops fall,
Down to the ground where the stones do
Lie, and the fish fly by and can hear her sigh:
"Breathe, child. Breathe."
Unsure of what the balance held,
The girl grew up into herself,
And met the man,
She always
Dreamed to meet.
And he would kiss her endlessly, breathlessly, she'd fall asleep,
In his arms, beneath his
Tender wings.
Breathe, child, breathe.
When the man had got his way
He disappeared without a trace,
And the girl is left alone under her sycamore tree.
And tear drops fall.
Breathe, child, breathe.
And the wind cried, "Willow, Willow,
Willow." Get your head off the pillow.
And the wind cried, "Willow, Willow, Willow."
Get your head off the pillow.
I dreamed a dream, and so it seems
That little girls had fantasies.
I dreamed a dream, and so it seems
That little girls have fantasies.
Little girls have fantasies.
Look around, look around, look around, look around.
We are all the playthings of men in this town.
Look around, what you'll find, what you'll find,
What you'll see is that men could care less about your fantasies.
Believe me, decieving, coniving, contriving.
Their light can be blinding with flowers in their hair.
But there's just no trust in a man,
With flowers in their hair.
Pockets full of dust, ain't no trust in a man.
Why am I stuck in this lie
I should've known better than to
Trust his eyes (My life spent -- in hiding)
I should've known better should've (Only him to confide in)
Read the signs (See I had him -- no denying)
Cause all my life -- I've been left (That this love's worth dying)
Behind
I'm as foolish as I ever was
Thought this time was different -- (I came here because)
Thought it would be better cause (I believed in his love)
I thought the world had changed
It's the same as it ever was
Looking for a better love -- (And I believed in the cause)
But you can't bet on love (But I've been acting so young)
This girl's life is changed (If I can change)
And I am to blame (Show me the way)
How can I explain (A way to erase --)
These mistakes I've made (These mistakes I've made)
I wanted to love and be loved (I wanted to love and be loved)
I wanted to love and be loved (I wanted to love and be loved)
I wanted to love and be loved (I wanted to love and be loved)
But instead I've come undone (But instead I've come undone)
I can be there for her -- (This is my time)
Like he isn't there for me (To make it right)
But how do I tell her (It's all in me)
That she has been deceived? (It's all in me)
By me -- by me -- by me (It's all in me)
And the wind cried Willow, Willow, Willlow
Get your head up off the pillow, pillow, pillow
And the wind cried Willow, Willow, Willlow
Get your head up off the pillow, pillow, pillow
I dreamed a dream and so it seems that little girls have fantasies
I dreamed a dream and so it seems that little girls have fantasie
