Ever Mine - feat. Alison Krauss

My dearest darlin'

I miss you more than words can tell

I hope the gardens growin tall

You're in good spirits and good health

We've traveled far now with a long way to go still

I know not yet when I'll return or if I ever will

Each day grows colder

Filled with powder, smoke, and steel

I worry before it's over, I've forgotten how to feel

I keep your picture in the pocket of my coat

I sometimes find when I'm alone it's my last bit of hope

Amidst the grips of these troubled times

Way back to you I always find

You're the wind that whispers through the pines

Bloom in the rows, green on them vines

Until we meet again my love sincerely signed

I'm ever yours, you're ever mine

Some of these boys aren't much older than our own

They fight like men and then get cut down before they're grown

This is my prayer that our daughter and our sons

Wrap their arms around each other

And never around a gun

Amidst the grips of these troubled times

Way back to you I always find

You're the wind that whispers through the pines

Bloom in the rows green on them vines

Until we meet again my love sincerely signed

I'm ever yours, you're ever mine

If you should hear it's come my time

Way back to you I always find

I'll be the wind that whisper through the pines

Pitch in the black, star in the shine

We'll meet again on the other side

I'm ever yours, you're ever mine
