Lyrics

Oh, a mistress makes you lean Like a tree up in tall trees It bends down on bended knee My knotty heart, she bleeds and bleeds Pining away Pining away Pining away for you Pining away Pining away Pining away for you I spied a speck within your eye 'Twas a look that made me cry From the sawmill of my mind A forest fell and made me blind Pining away Pining away Pining away for you Pining away Pining away Pining away for you Though my roots are long displaced I've learned to walk the human's race A tumbleweed in time and space May my footsteps leave no disgrace Pining away Pining away Pining away for you For you Pining away Pining away Pining away for you Pining away Pining away Pining away for you Once her branches rose as graceful chandeliers Her leafy crown now bows low, foul with tears Concentric circles mark the years Lining the trunk's faded souvenirs
