Alton Ellis - Willow Tree

They say that once the tear has fallen
The willow cries eternally
Cry not for me, my willow tree
Don't shed your tears eternally
'Cause I have found the love I've searched for
I need your tears no more, no more

So fare-thee-well, my weeping willow
And if we'll ever meet again
Cry not for me, my willow tree
Don't shed your tears eternally
'Cause I have found the love I've searched for
I need your tears no more, no more

(..)

They say the willow cries for someone
And that's when someone's heart is broken
Cry not for me, my willow tree
Don't shed your tears eternally
'Cause I have found the love I've searched for
I need your tears no more, no more
