Willow Tidings at the West Window

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Morning light wakes gently with the orioles

I draw back the curtain and see only endless green grass

A gust of wind suddenly steps into the little courtyard

Yet every willow branch points toward where you left

[Pre-Chorus]

If the wind understands a heart’s greeting

Could you also carry word back to my door for me

[Chorus]

I push this window open toward the wind that holds you

Let the unfinished words slowly find their way home

Spring is so near，yet you remain far away

I cannot help asking where even a single leaf has gone

I push this window open toward the wind that holds you

May you too hear the voice of my waiting heart

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 2]

Sunlight stretches the shadows in the room

I place the old letter on the table once again

Not every morning brings an echo

Yet I still wish to keep a little hope for our reunion

[Pre-Chorus]

If the wind understands a heart’s greeting

Could you also carry word back to my door for me

[Chorus]

I push this window open toward the wind that holds you

Let the unfinished words slowly find their way home

Spring is so near，yet you remain far away

I cannot help asking where even a single leaf has gone

I push this window open toward the wind that holds you

May you too hear the voice of my waiting heart

[Bridge]

Do not let waiting overshadow all of life

And do not let the long road make you forget you once loved wholeheartedly

When I take care to brew today's tea warm

Then you are still in the tenderest place within me

[Final Chorus]

I push this window open toward the wind that holds you

Let the unfinished words slowly find their way home

Spring is so near，yet you remain far away

I cannot help asking where even a single leaf has gone

I push this window open toward the wind that holds you

May you too hear the voice of my waiting heart

[Outro]

After the wind has gone, the window stays a crack open

Let tomorrow be the first to see a new clear sky
