Before I leave
Let me tell you why I'm going
And try to speak in such a way
They won't be afraid of listening
Too many words been spoken
Without no understanding
And I hate to add another wound
To the times we had good loving
But oh when I think of the tall pine trees growing
The silver mist of snow
All around me blowing
I'll miss the gentle times and
The fireplace a woman
Perhaps I'll turn my head away
To hide the tears I've fallen
Some say I have disowned you
Through foolishness and folly
The question nod and where there lies
But if you're standing by me
Do not need to hear the words
To know your truthful answer
Your eyes once were home to me
Now tell me I'm astray
But oh when I think of the tall pine trees growing
The silver mist of snow
All around me blowing
I miss the gentle times and
The fireplace a warming
Perhaps I'll turn my head away
To hide the tears I've fallen
I'm bound to be a wanderer
I'll never take another
I'll catch a merchant ship tonight
Sail to foreign waters a judge
No man for what is done
And no man will I bother
And hope to find some peace again
And cleanse my soul of anger
But oh when I think of the tall pine trees growing
The silver mist of snow
All around me blowing
I'll miss the gentle times and
The fireplace a warming
Perhaps I'll turn my head away
To hide the tears I've fallen
