I Miss the Pines

Ever since I left I’ve been lonely
I’m missing things that I can’t find
I miss your love
I miss your touch
But most of all I miss the pines

I miss the smell of the old growth forest
Up along the Cumberland county line
I miss the sea
I miss the sky
But most of all I miss the pines

I miss the pines
I miss the cold
I miss the shadows
I miss the snow
I miss the light that flashes through the trees
As I try to stay between the lines
Woe, I miss the pines

I like it here in Tennessee
The people all seem true and kind
But those tall, tall trees
Keep calling me
Most of all I miss the pines

Sometimes at night I lie awake
And dream about what once was mine
I miss your love
I miss your kiss
But most of all I miss the pines

I miss the pines
I miss the cold
I miss the shadows
I miss the snow
I miss the light that flashes through the trees
As I try to stay between the lines
Woe, I miss the pines

I miss the pines
I miss the cold
But I keep that feeling
Deep in my soul
I miss the light that flashes through the trees
But I’m gonna stay between the lines
Even though I miss the pines
Woe, I miss the pines
