Iris DeMent - Whispering Pines Lyrics
The snowflakes fall as winter comes and time just seems to flyIs it the loneliness in me that makes me want to cry?My heart is sad, like a mourning dove that's lost its mate in flightHear the cooing of his lonely heart through the stillness of the nightChorus:Whispering pines, whispering pines, tell me is it soWhispering pines, whispering pines, you're the one to knowMy darling is gone oh he's gone and I need your sympathyWhispering pines send my baby back to meSee that squirrel up in the tree his mate there on the groundHear their barking call of love for the happiness they've foundIs my love still my love? Oh, this I gotta knowSend the message by the wind because I love him so(chorus)
