Under the willow tree Lyrics
[DOCTOR]
Under the willow tree
Two doves cry, two doves cry
Under the willow tree
Two doves cry
Where shall we sleep, my love?
Whither shall I fly?
Where shall we sleep, my love?
Whither shall we fly?
The wood has swallowed the moon
The fog has swallowed the shore
The green toad has swallowed
The key to my door
[ANATOL]
Charming, charming! I wish I could compete with you, doctor
[DOCTOR]
Nonsense, young man. Give me your hand, and I'll show you the steps. Right foot first. Back, then left. Forward, slide. One, two, three. Reverse, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three. Left foot. Right foot
[VANESSA AND ERIKA]
Under the willow tree
Two doves cry, two doves cry
Under the willow tree
Two doves cry
Where shall we sleep, my love?
Whither shall I fly?
Where shall we sleep, my love?
Whither shall we fly?
The wood has swallowed the moon
The fog has swallowed the shore
The green toad has swallowed
The key to my door
