In the Shadow of the Pines

In The Shadow Of The Eyes - The Carter Family

We had wandered in the shadow of the pines

The moon looked down on you and me

And a darkness stole across the summer sky

And a shadow came between my love and me

Oh darling come love me as before

Come back to leave me nevermore

At that spot I'm sad and lonely

And the sun no longer shines

Come and meet me in the shadow of the pines

Oh you went away and left me and my tears

I could not hide

You went away and not a word was said

While my throbbing heart was breaking underneath

Its load of pride

And the pine trees sobbed in pity o'er my head

Oh darling come love me as before

Come back to leave me nevermore

At that spot I'm sad and lonely

And the sun no longer shines

Come and meet me in the shadow of the pines

All our future is o'er shadowed

By the darkness of despair

And across life's path the sun no longer shines

Oh I'd give this whole world gladly

Once again to meet her there

And reunite in the shadow of the pines

Oh darling come love me as before

Come back to leave me nevermore

At that spot I'm sad and lonely

And the sun no longer shines

Come and meet me in the shadow of the pines
