Iris DeMent - Whispering Pines

Snowflakes fall as winter calls. And time just seems to fly
Is it the lonely in missing me? That makes me want to 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
Darling's gone oh he's gone
And I need your sympathy
Whispering pines send my baby back to me
