Whispering Pines Lyrics - Iris Dement

The snowflakes fall as winter comes and time just seems to fly 

Is it the loneliness in me that makes me want to cry? 

My heart is sad, like a mourning dove that's lost its mate in flight 

Hear the cooing of his lonely heart through the stillness of the night 

Chorus: 

Whispering pines, whispering pines, tell me is it so 

Whispering pines, whispering pines, you're the one to know 

My darling is gone oh he's gone and I need your sympathy 

Whispering pines send my baby back to me 

See that squirrel up in the tree his mate there on the ground 

Hear their barking call of love for the happiness they've found 

Is my love still my love? Oh, this I gotta know 

Send the message by the wind because I love him so 

(chorus)
