Lyrics: The Pine Tree

I lean my back against you thinkin' you were an oak
I knew the wind could bend you but I can't believe you broke
Now the wind could never break me only your false love
Honey I've been true I swear by God above

I thought you were a willow but you never wept for me
You went roamin' in the wildwood like a ship that roams the see
The willow tree is fickle and it weeps in the morning dew
My love is a pine tree cause that's the only tree that's true

If I was mistaken then take my eyes away
You made a bed in the wildwood and that's where I saw you lay
Honey your eyes deceived you it's true I touched the ground
But I never slept there I never let my long hair down mhm

Love is like a thorn bush touch it and you will find
You'll prick your fingers and leave the sweetest flower behind
Love oh love oh what you done to me
You set me a driftin' like a ship upon the sea

Yes a ship there is I see you and you belong to me
My love is the ocean and deeper love cannot be
Yeah well I guess I was mistaken and woman I want you back
You never have left my heart now honey baby that's a fact

Come to me pine tree and we will never part
We'll put our roots down in each other's heart

Come to me pine tree and we will never part
We'll put our roots down in each other's heart
