Midnight Pine

[Verse 1] Shadows stretching long by the garden wall Listen to the evening whippoorwill call Kettle whistling on the cast-iron stove Cool breeze drifting through the maple grove [Chorus] Midnight pine, take this heavy load Lead me softly down the homeward road Stars above the canopy shine so clear Nothing left to worry or to fear out here [Verse 2] Embers glowing red in the hearthstone deep Rocking all the weary world to sleep Rest your tired eyes till the sun comes round Peace is what my wandering heart has found
