Nobody Knows But Thee

NOBODY KNOWS BUT THEE

just how long will you sit and wait
while hours drip upon the earth
with loneliness your only mate
as your tears stain the dusty ground
and you call this your painful fate
how long beneath this willow tree
i guess nobody knows but thee

is life so lonely cold and mean
you said once that you had a dream
you said “friend” on you to lean yet
you’re still alone this i can see
this unjust world’s a master scheme
how long beneath this willow tree
i guess nobody knows but thee

is it a plan i’m confused it’s
not what you have but what you choose
this human world of hurt and pain is
is not some blissful paradise
heed the earth moan her troubled blues
how long beneath this willow tree
i guess nobody knows but thee
