about

this one was written on an old piano in an old schoolhouse on Toronto Island

lyrics

When will you come, sweet William?
The sun sinks low and chill
the grass is overgrown and the monarchs all flown
and you still have not come, my Will

We have walked along together
down the green and winding hill
and all as we spoke, your wondering brought hope,
and I loved all your questions, my Will

You are but a seed, sweet William,
not yet a breath in the lung
and the song that I sing will be just the thing
to bring you to be, my Will

There are dreams we build in secret
and a tree of those secret dreams
and we shake on the tree to see which ones will be
oh the ones that we'll see into fruit

When will you come, sweet William?
All the branches but one are bare -
you're a dream of yourself held close in myself
on the dreamer's high shelf, my Will

I know you will be coming
down the long gold path ahead
and how long you will take is how long I will wait
for my darling boy, my Will
