She waited under wildwood, under maple and pine
|
Wondering when her cherry blossom love would arrive
|
|
He once was a young man in love with a girl like me
|
They'd sit alone together under a cherry blossom tree
|
|
Time would turn their sunny day like magic into dusk
|
A single moment suddenly a year passed by in love
|
|
But then he was gone
|
He was gone
|
She searched for him then sat beneath their tree and sang this song
|
|
I'll wait for your return my love under our cherry blossom tree
|
And if you cannot meet me there I'll try another tree
|
|
I'll sit beneath a hemlock
|
I'll sit below a pine
|
I'll sit under the peach tree where you told me you were mine
|
|
I'll wait for you through winter when all the leaves have died
|
I'll wait for you to come to me with snow tears in my eyes
|
|
All is gone from me today and till the end of time
|
Her hair grew gray and blossoms layered her body like a vine
|
The blossoms planted seeds and cherries fell across her chest
|
They covered the ground around and muffled her request
|
The Cherry lady laden with the saddest fruit to bear
|
The sweetest juice left bitter proof of love's uncertain care
|
|
Cause he was gone
|
He was gone
|
She searched for him then sat beneath their tree and sang this song
|
I'll wait for your return my love under our cherry blossom tree
|
and if you cannot meet me there I'll never ever be free
|
