lyrics

Shadow of the Pines
lyrics- Traditional

We had wandered in the shadow of the pines, my love and I,
As the wind was blowing freshly from the sea,
then a sudden fitful darkness stole across the summer sky, and
A shadow fell between my love and me.
Some hasty words were spoken, then almost unawares
Hasty answers to unthinking anger led, and
Our heartsick bitter longing, and our weeping, and our prayers
Couldn’t make those false and cruel words unsaid.

Won’t you come back to me sweetheart and love me as before?
Come back, back to me sweetheart and leave me nevermore.
Oh, in life’s dull pathway the sun no longer shines,
Come my love, and meet me in the shadow of the pines.

You took the ring I gave you and you cast a glance at me
As you held the jeweled trinket in your hand
Then you turned and you tossed it in the waters of the sea,
As the waves were splashing idly on the sand.
You went away unheeding the tears I couldn’t cry,
You went away and not a word was said.
Yes, my stubborn heart was breaking beneath a mask of pride
And the pine trees sobbed in pity overhead.

Won’t you come back to me sweetheart and love me as before?
Come back, back to me sweetheart and leave me nevermore.
Oh, in life’s dull pathway the sun no longer shines, won’t you
Come my love, and meet me in the shadow of the pines.
