Midnight Shadow

Once upon a midnight shadow
There was a tree with words of sorrow
With her weeping willow branches
Nothing but her days of sadness
Happiness she sought to borrow
The maidens life was void and hollow
If she could last until that day
When her love would be back to stay
Oh how she wished she could follow
But since her roots held her pathways narrow
There was not an amount of dollar
That would allow her to look and holler
To find her beloved and dear hearted prince
For she would be dead before his last dance
