Rest Between the Pines
Today's news as bad as yesterday's
The sun's too close, and I can't sleep
Tomorrow's pulling at my heart
The neighbor's yelling on the street
And I can't keep fighting the questions
Hopeless thoughts in summer heat
Are we making any progress?
Will we give each other peace?
And I walk there in my mind
North to the timber line
Rest between the pines
Soaking in the quiet
Evergreens that never die
And everyone's all right
Where it's Christmas all the time
If I could live another day
I'd choose the day the farm pipes froze
We all hauled fresh water down
By dark, we couldn't feel our toes
Came home, made a fire, and set the table
We put on our softest clothes
The tired joy of doing good work
Is the greatest kind I've ever known
And I walk there in my mind
North to the timber line
Rest between the pines
Soaking in the quiet
Evergreens that never die
And everyone's all right
Close your eyes, hear choirs sing, and remember
The starry night, the cheer it brings in mid-December
And I walk there in my mind
North to the timber line
Rest between the pines
Soaking in the quiet
Evergreens that never die
And everyone's all right
The darkest days bring on the light
And we will be all right
Where it's Christmas all the time
The sun's too close, and I can't sleep
Tomorrow's pulling at my heart
The neighbor's yelling on the street
And I can't keep fighting the questions
Hopeless thoughts in summer heat
Are we making any progress?
Will we give each other peace?
And I walk there in my mind
North to the timber line
Rest between the pines
Soaking in the quiet
Evergreens that never die
And everyone's all right
Where it's Christmas all the time
If I could live another day
I'd choose the day the farm pipes froze
We all hauled fresh water down
By dark, we couldn't feel our toes
Came home, made a fire, and set the table
We put on our softest clothes
The tired joy of doing good work
Is the greatest kind I've ever known
And I walk there in my mind
North to the timber line
Rest between the pines
Soaking in the quiet
Evergreens that never die
And everyone's all right
Close your eyes, hear choirs sing, and remember
The starry night, the cheer it brings in mid-December
And I walk there in my mind
North to the timber line
Rest between the pines
Soaking in the quiet
Evergreens that never die
And everyone's all right
The darkest days bring on the light
And we will be all right
Where it's Christmas all the time
