Old Pine

Oh, hot sand on toes

Cold sand in sleeping bags

I've come to know the memories

Were the best things you ever had

The summer shone

Beat down on bony backs

So far from home

Where the ocean stood

Down dust and pine cone tracks

Oh, we slept like dogs

Down by the fireside

Who woke to the fog

Where all around us

The boom of summertime, yeah

Yeah, we stood

Steady as the stars in the wood

So happy-hearted in the warmth

Rank drew inside these bones

As the old pine fell we sang

Just to bless the morning

Oh, hot sand on toes

Cold sand in sleeping bags

I've come to know the friends around you

Were all you'll always have

Smoke in my lungs

Or the echoed stone

Careless and young

Free as the birds that fly

With weightless souls now

We stood

Steady as the stars in the wood

So happy-hearted in the warmth

Rank drew inside these bones

We stood

Steady as the stars in the woods

So happy-hearted in the warmth

Rank drew inside these bones

As the old pine fell we sang

Just to bless the morning

Now we grow, grow

Steady as the morning

Yeah we grow, grow

Older still

Yeah we grow, grow

Happy as a new dawn

We grow, grow

Older still

Yeah we grow, grow

Steady as the flowers

Yeah we grow, grow

Older still

Yeah we grow, grow

Happy as a new dawn

We grow, grow

Older still
