Willow Road - Mel Tormé
At dawn you hear the rooster crowing
He says it's time to ride
So all the flowers open their eyes
And when they stretch their feathers
You'd swear a rainbow growed
All along the Willow Road
I know the corn is ripe for husking
But I ain't got the time
I don't care if I make a dime
'Cause money couldn't pay for
The peace of mind I've knowed
Strollin' down the Willow Road
City folks
You've got my pity folks
I don't know why you're always on the run
Strange the way
You work all day
To build a house so high it hides the sun
Now the sun is setting
And I gotta hit the hay
Tomorrow is another big day
I'm gonna reap the harvest
Of happiness I've sowed
Down along the Willow Road
I guess that I'm the only dreamer
Whose dreams have all come true
The only thing I gotta do
Is rise and shine each morning
To see that no-one's changed
Or even rearranged
The road my Willow Road
