Pine and Fir

The morning came, I followed the old traces
I found myself in different times and places
I’ve seen these streets before, familiar faces
I just walked by avoiding all the gazes

The past is like a story I’ve been hiding
I travelled through a dream that’s been abiding
I lost my time remembering, deciding
Which way to go, the thought has been presiding

I can see the way that we were
Underneath the pine and the fir
It’s all I’ve got but never would leave behind

It’s like a sweet refrain, I won’t deny it
This melancholy life, I cannot fight it
So I took the open road from where I started
I’ve been all beaten up, I’ve been blindsided

I can see the way that we were
Underneath the pine and the fir
It’s all I’ve got but never would leave behind

If I just stay real close, I might just make it
If I play to my strength and never fake it
And cast away the fears, I won’t forsake it
The visions of what’s gone, will never break it

I can see the way that we were
Underneath the pine and the fir
It’s nothing more, without it I’d fall behind
