Among the Sugar Pines

Hey, brother, kick the dust from your heels
And let your spinnin' wheels rust awhile
I'll listen one time for the ol' days
And some things never change, but you wish you could
And tell me tales of hardship and woe
Of heartache that I'll never know
And take your time, let the river wind
Dark as night and whistles like a bird
Like a tree that fell that you never heard
Like a misty glade with eyes that ring
And a silver blade and one hand behind
Tell me tales of deception woe
But she was never yours to let go
And take your time, the river winds
Among the sugar pines
Down below the railway arch
The ghosts howl in the bone yard
And they'll push you to the sun
And you will know what's done is done
Hey, sister, lay your shoulder across the chair
And take the pencil from your hair and rest awhile
I'll listen if you want to hear the words out loud
I'll hold the mirror down for you to see
And tell me tales of uncertainty
You are now who you will be
And take your time, the river winds
Among the moaning pines
And down below a cloudless sky
The moon falls in your doorway
And you'll sing it for the sun
And you will know what's done is done
