Chorus

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun never shines

And you shiver when the cold winds blow

Verse 1

Little girl, little girl, what have I done

That makes you treat me so?

You caused me to weep, you caused me to mourn

And you caused me to leave my home

Chorus

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun never shines

And you shiver when the cold winds blow

Verse 2

The longest train I ever saw

Came down that Georgia line

The engine passed at six o'clock

And the cab came by at nine

Chorus

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun never shines

And we shiver when the cold winds blow

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun never shines

And you shiver when the cold winds blow

Life’s become so fragile
now that I care
But I guess that means that I’m
Getting somewhere
Remember the time
Laying in your bedWhen you told me that you loved me
And you stroked my head

And I stared out the open window
I’d even told you
That one night howWords don’t mean a thing
But it’s alright
Cause every time
I open my mouth
And I wanna tell you something
But something else comes out

But do you know that I need you nowI’m trying to tell you but I don’t know how
So much frustration in my
Untidy roomThat you thoughtfully went andGot me a broom
But inside my room
Is a messy mind that isTangled and twisted
And untied

You know that I’m not too organisedI’m trying to be but I don’t have the time
The cement in my headWas making me sinkBut you pulled me up
and it hurts a little less to think
So life’s a little fragile
But I guess it always isWhen you’ve got some sort of reasonThat makes you wanna live
But will you share a bit of the weightI’ve carried it with me for 21 years straight
