We wandered through the shadow of the pines my love and I As the wind was blowing softly through the trees
A sudden fateful darkness fell across the southern sky a shadow came between my love and me
Some hasty words were spoken, almost unaware
Hasty answers to unthinking anger led
Our heartfelt bitter longings, our weepings ,our prayers Couldnt make those false and cruel words unsaid
Come back to me sweetheart and love me as before Come back to me sweetheart
And leave me never more
In life’s darkest pathways, the sun no longer shines
Come love and meet me in the shadow of the pines
You took the ring I gave you, you cast one glance at me you held that jewel trinket in your hand
Then you turned and tossed it to the waters of the sea the waves were splashing idly on the sand
You went your way without me, tears I couldnt hide
You went your way and not a word was said
My stubborn heart was breaking beneath the mask of pride the pine trees sobbed in pity overhead
Come back to me sweetheart and love me as before Come back to me sweetheart
And leave me never more
In life’s darkest pathways, the sun no longer shines
Come love and meet me in the shadow of the pines
I wake from bitter dreaming, calling out your name
I sleep again to dream of you once more
My stubborn pride has left me, I admit I was to blame Forgive me dear and love me as before
The future has been taken by the darkness of despair With the joy of love, life’s sun no longer shines
I’d give this whole world gladly once again to meet you there Reunited in the shadow of the pine
Come back to me sweetheart and love me as before Come back to me sweetheart
And leave me never more
In life’s darkest pathways, the sun no longer shines
Come love and meet me in the shadow of the pines
Come back to me sweetheart and love me as before Come back to me sweetheart
And leave me never more
In life’s darkest pathways, the sun no longer shines
Come love and meet me in the shadow of the pines
