Iris DeMent – Whispering Pines Lyrics

Country

Snowflakes fall as winter calls
And time just seems to fly
Is it the lonely missing you?
That makes me wanna cry

My heart is sad like a mourning dove
That's lost its mate in flight
Hear the cooing of his lonely heart
Through the stillness of the night

Whispering pines, whispering pines
Tell me, is it so?
Whispering pines, whispering pines
You're the one who knows
Darling's gone, oh, he's gone
And I need your sympathy
Whispering pines, send my baby back to me

See that squirrel up in the tree
It's mate there on the ground
Hear their barking call of love
For the happiness they've found

Is my love still my love?
Oh, this I gotta know
Send a message by the wind
Because I love him so

Whispering pines, whispering pines
Tell me, is it so?
Whispering pines, whispering pines
You're the one who knows
My darling's gone, oh, he's gone
And I need your sympathy
Whispering pines, send my baby back to me
Whispering pines, send my baby back to me
