Description

Whispered on the wind and wept into the waves, The Willow and the Sea is a haunting Irish ballad that tells the story of love, loss, and the endless pull of memory across the waters. Set against a backdrop of misty shores and bending trees, it is a tale of hearts separated by the tides — yet forever bound by hope.

With lyrical poetry, tender melodies, and soul-stirring visuals, this ballad captures the ache of parting and the beauty of holding on to what can never truly be lost. Every note carries the weight of longing; every word floats like a prayer between the willow and the wild sea.

LYRICS:
Oh, love, do you hear the west wind sigh,
Through the hills where we used to roam?
Does it whisper soft in the evening sky,
Of the days when you called me home?

But the willow weeps, and the waves roll free,
For love was lost ‘twixt you and me.
And though the tides may rise and fall,
My heart still waits through seasons all.

We met where the meadow kissed the sea,
With your hand warm in my own,
And I swore by the stars you'd stay with me,
Through the years we had yet to know.

But the call of the tide was stronger still,
And it carried you far from shore.
Oh, I stand alone where the wind blows chill,
Where your voice rings out no more.

But the willow weeps, and the waves roll free,
For love was lost ‘twixt you and me.
And though the tides may rise and fall,
My heart still waits through seasons all.

I've traced your name on the shifting sand,
Watched it fade with the rolling spray,
Yet love holds fast like a sailor's hand,
Though the winds would pull it away.

If ever you find your heart still mine,
When the storm clouds drift apart,
Let the wild sea carry this love of thine,
To the home of a waiting heart.

But the willow weeps, and the waves roll free,
For love was lost ‘twixt you and me.
And though the tides may rise and fall,
My heart still waits through seasons all.
