[Verse 1] I watched you walk that lonesome road, Your lantern barely burned. You never saw me in the dark, But I never quite returned. [Chorus] In the pines, in the pines, where the lost souls cry, Where the wind tells tales, and the crows won’t fly. Lay your secrets down where the cold wind whines, I’m still here love, in the whisperin’ pines. [Verse 2] My bones are scattered in the dust, My voice is lost to time. Yet still I sing when the branches creak, Like a hymn without a rhyme. [Chorus] In the pines, in the pines, where the lost souls cry, Where the wind tells tales, and the crows won’t fly. Lay your secrets down where the cold wind whines, I’m still here love, in the whisperin’ pines. [Verse 3] Your lies, your lies—I heard them all, Though your tears were warm and true. You slept not where you said you would, And I was watchin’ you. [Chorus] In the pines, in the pines, where the lost souls cry, Where the wind tells tales, and the crows won’t fly. Lay your secrets down where the cold wind whines, I’m still here love, in the whisperin’ pines. [Outro Verse] Now every step you take at night, Feels heavy, slow, and wrong. That’s me beside you in the dark— Still hummin’ our old song... [humming acompanys the music as it fades out]
