Lyric discussion by SeattleWayne 

Man what a great song. The willow tree is oft referred to as the (weeping) willow. The figure floating there is likely the writers own dark/depressed side yearning to be freed. However there is another possible interpretation here:libraryofmoria.com/legolaselladan/beneaththewillowtree.txt The willow tree has historically been seen as a mystic/spiritual expression of nature giving creedence to the belief that trees have souls, or are living examples of the human mind (because of their shape.).....Not an explanation, but just some food for thought about the song. Enjoy!
