Echo in the Pines

Yesterday we laid him down
In a grave up on the hill
And he looks into the sky
From the blue ridge where he lies

Younger days had fared him well
He lived just across the lane
Every day he passed the time
Workin’ hard on the plain

Chorus:
And she can’t remember when
They last held each other tight
And she hears it in the wind
His voice echoes in the pines

Twenty years had gone away
It had been a good ol’ time
Can’t turn back her age or mind
Different days are here to stay

Chorus

There’s a boy who’s near a man
She holds him close with her hand
And they know it’s not the end
Someday Dad will live again

Chorus:
And they can’t remember when
They last held each other tight
And they hear it in the wind
His voice echoes in the pines
His voice echoes in the pines
