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 an eye or just dragging on?
She never did know what it was that they wanted
And I wonder
If there's somewhere
The pines reach way up to the sky
And go on and on there
