Tall Pines Lyrics by Volume Five

Drifter

2016

[Verse 1]
Once in my youth, I stood on this mountain
And planted some trees in the sand
Every day, I looked their way
But just couldn't understand
Why they never grew like I thought they should do
I just couldn’t understand why
Now I've rambled around this wide world through
And today, I just happened by

[Chorus]
Tall pines, tall pines
Reaching up for the clouds
Tall pines, tall pines
I bet you wouldn't know me now

[Verse 2]
I’ll never forget the morning I left
The hum of the bees in the hay
The farther I walk, the harder they talk
How silent it seems here today
There's an old rail fence that we built inch by inch
Surrounding the old family graves
And there's one gravestone standin' all alone
They're waiting to join me in the shade

[Chorus]
Tall pines, tall pines
Reaching up for the clouds
Tall pines, tall pines
I've come home to sleep beneath their boughs
