Through the Pines

[Verse]
The river don’t run straight
It bends
It breaks
And the stones at the bottom
They bear the weight
I see your shadow in the lantern’s glow
Through the pines
Through the pines
Where the cold winds blow

[Chorus]
Through the pines
I’ll find my way
Even when the sky turns gray
Through the pines
I’ll hold your hand
Even when we’re sinking sand

[Verse 2]
The house don’t creak like it used to do
But the echoes of the fights still filter through
I built these walls
Now they feel so thin
Can we patch the cracks
Or let the light in?

[Prechorus]
Every branch bends in the storm
But roots keep us warm

[Chorus]
Through the pines
I’ll find my way
Even when the sky turns gray
Through the pines
I’ll hold your hand
Even when we’re sinking sand

[Bridge]
I hear the whippoorwill
It cries for two
A song for me
A song for you
Let’s hum along
No need for words
Just the rhythm of the earth
The call unheard
