Lyrics:
It was a hard time
It was a long line
It was a steep climb
With too many kids to handle
She got her kids raised
And her nerves frayed
As her life blazed through her eyes
Made out of candles

Those lumber trucks kept rolling south
With their loads of pines and rumbling sounds
As fast as they could grow
They cut them down
Fast as they could go
The kids left town

And I wonder
If there’s somewhere
The pines reach way up to the sky
and go on and on there

The sun wasn’t so low
It was summertime
But the trees were making shadows
of September
In comes the hard freeze
Early this year
How did she end up here
She can’t remember

He said the reason he was carrying on
Was that every bit of love he had for her
was gone
So was it just the blink of the eye or
just dragging on
She never did know what it was that he wanted

And I wonder
If there’s somewhere
the pines reach way up to the sky
And go on and on there
