Moonshine In The White Pines

[Verse 1]
There is a highway, run to the country
There is a gravel road through the hills
There is a small lane a-windin' through a meadow
There is a footpath into wilderness
There I found a log house, made by a settler
And I found a big barn there, built by his sons
I found the orchard, abandoned by their children
All forgotten by everyone

[Chorus]
Moonshine in the white pines
Shadows cross my lane
Lamp-glow through the window there
To welcome me homе again

[Verse 2]
I've been a newsboy, I've been a bеllman
I've been a farmhand and shovelled my load
I've been a poet and I have been a hermit
I've been a singer, out a-workin' the road
I've lived in Cumberland, I've lived in Cambridge
I've been to Hollywood, I have been to Maine
Some days I'm content, and some years I'm yearnin'
Wanderin', returnin', again and again and again

[Chorus]
Moonshine in the white pines
Shadows cross my lane
Lamp-glow through the window there
To welcome me home again

[Verse 3]
You know that footpath, you come and meet me
You know the weekdays that you'll find me there
You've seen those moonshine shadows cross my meadow
You've seen that lamplight glow in my hair
The snake in the cellar, the mouse in the cupboard
Swallows in the sleep-loft, the frog at the spring
Will be a-waitin', have the lamp a-burnin'
Will be a-yearnin' for what you will bring

[Chorus]
Moonshine in the white pines
Shadows cross my lane
Lamp-glow through the window there
To welcome me home again
Moonshine in the white pines
Shadows cross my lane
Lamp-glow through the window there
To welcome me home again
