My love is gone, carried away. By the wind that shakes the willow,
And all the land is beaten hard. By the wind that shakes the willow.
But I will hold her close to me, In heart and dearest memory. And with her strength to steel my soul, Her love to warm my heart-strings.
And I will stand where we once sang, Though cold wind shakes the willow.
And I will stand where we once sang, Though cold wind shakes the willow.

Dear lass of mine, who now is free, To the Wind that shakes the willow
Let grace and beauty, fill your wings, with the wind that shakes the willow
Fore I will hold you close to me, in heart and dearest memory
And with your strength to steel my soul, your love to warm my heart-strings.
And I will stand where we once sang, Though cold wind shakes the willow.
And I will stand where we once sang, Though cold wind shakes the willow.

Be lay to rest, until my day. By the wind that shakes the willow
Lift up my hands, carried away. By the wind that shakes the willow, Fore I had held you close to me, In heart and dearest memory.
And with your strength to steel my soul, your love to warm my heart-strings.
And I will stand where we once sang, Though cold wind shakes the willow.
And I will stand where we once sang, Though cold wind shakes the willow.
