Where the Pines Remember

Intro

Verse 1

The morning comes without a sun

Through branches black and stripped of green

I walk the path where we once ran

Through fields that time has left unseen

The northern wind still knows my name

It carries whispers through the trees

I hear your footsteps in the frost

Then watch them vanish underneath

Pre-Chorus

Some things are lost but never gone

They sleep beneath the roots

Chorus

Where the pines remember

Where the cold wind knows

Every name we carried

Every road we chose

And though the years have taken

What I could never save

The forest keeps the echoes

Of everything we gave

Verse 2

A raven circles over stone

Its shadow crossing frozen ground

The river moves beneath the ice

But makes no living sound

I found the place where we once stood

Beside the old and broken wall

The seasons changed, the stones remained

But I could not remain at all

Pre-Chorus

Some wounds become a part of us

Like winter in the blood

Chorus

Where the pines remember

Where the cold wind knows

Every name we carried

Every road we chose

And though the years have taken

What I could never save

The forest keeps the echoes

Of everything we gave

Bridge

If I return when spring arrives

Will anything still know my face?

Or will the roots beneath the earth

Have taken every trace?

I do not ask the past to stay

I only ask it not to fade

Final Chorus

Where the pines remember

Where the cold wind knows

Every name we carried

Every road we chose

And though the years have taken

What I could never save

The forest keeps the echoes

Of everything we gave

Outro

The wind grows still

The branches sway

The path remains

But we have changed
