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 wild wood like a ship that roams the sea

The willow tree is fickle and it weeps in the morning dew

My love is a pine tree, that's the only tree that's true

If I was mistaken then take my eyes away

You made a bed in the wild wood 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

Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm

Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm

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 deep in each other's heart

Come to me pine tree and we will never part

We'll put our roots down deep in each other's heart

Come to me pine tree and we will never part

We'll put our roots down deep in each other's heart
