Lyrics: Kasey Chambers. The Captain. These Pines.
These pines are not the ones that I'm used to
They won't carry me home when I cry
Am I too far gone to recover
Or can I turn if I try?
Should I trade my soul for another?
Should I stay and pretend that I'm happy?
Like so many times before
Yeah, these pines are not mine
They don't smell so sweet
Like the ones in my mind
And I search the needles 'til I run out of time
But I don't see you in these pines
[Unverified] I stumble or falter my words
When I'm saying everything is all right?
I'm not one to release my depression
But these trees bring it out every night
Well, I don't talk 'cos I'm trying to listen
To the wind take me home through these leaves
But it's quiet and don't hear nothing
'Cos the wind doesn't blow through these trees
They won't carry me home when I cry
Am I too far gone to recover
Or can I turn if I try?
Should I trade my soul for another?
Should I stay and pretend that I'm happy?
Like so many times before
Yeah, these pines are not mine
They don't smell so sweet
Like the ones in my mind
And I search the needles 'til I run out of time
But I don't see you in these pines
[Unverified] I stumble or falter my words
When I'm saying everything is all right?
I'm not one to release my depression
But these trees bring it out every night
Well, I don't talk 'cos I'm trying to listen
To the wind take me home through these leaves
But it's quiet and don't hear nothing
'Cos the wind doesn't blow through these trees
