The Pine Tree
Love's Resilient Roots: The Pine Tree Song
Lyrics
I lean my back against you
I seek support or rely on you
Thinking you were an oak
I believed you were strong and steadfast like an oak tree
I knew the wind could bent you
I knew challenges could affect you, but I didn't expect you to break
But I can't believe you broke
Expressing disbelief at your emotional breakdown
Now the wind could never break
I am resilient to external forces, only vulnerable to false love
Me only your false love
Assuring faithfulness, contrasting with perceived betrayal
Honey I've been true I swear by God above
A pledge of honesty and loyalty to a higher power
I thought you were a willow but
Initially thought of you as a gentle and weeping willow
You never wept for me
Disappointment that you never expressed sorrow for me
You went roaming in the wildwood like
You wandered without commitment, like a ship at sea
A ship that roams the see
Metaphorically comparing your actions to a drifting ship
The willow tree is fickle and it
Willow tree symbolizing fickleness and morning tears
Weeps in the morning dew
Declaring love as steadfast and true, like a pine tree
My love is a pine tree cause
If mistaken, willing to lose sight as a consequence
That's the only tree that's true
Reference to a perceived betrayal in the wildwood
If I was mistaken then take my eyes away
Denying accusations of infidelity and touching the ground
You made a bed in the wildwood and
Explanation of a bed in the wildwood and a witness account
That's where I saw you lay
Clarifying that eyes deceived, but physical contact occurred
Honey your eyes deceived you it's
Acceptance of touching the ground but not sleeping there
True I touched the ground
Never letting down one's hair, symbolizing restraint
But I never slept there I never
Love is compared to a thorn bush, cautioning about its consequences
Let my long hair down mhm
Warning that pursuing love may result in pain and loss
Love is like a thorn bush touch
Expressing the impact of love on personal well-being
It and you will find
Metaphorically drifting in love's unpredictable currents
You'll prick your fingers and leave
Observation of a connection between love and drifting like a ship
The sweetest flower behind
A realization of shared belonging and possession
Love oh love oh what you done to me
Describing love as an overwhelming force of separation
You set me a drifting like
Comparing oneself to a drifting ship under love's influence
A ship upon the sea
A recognition of a shared destiny and ownership
Yes a ship there is I see
Claiming the vastness and depth of one's love
You and you belong to me
A realization of a mistake and a desire for reconciliation
My love is the ocean and
Reaffirmation of a continuous presence in the heart
Deeper love cannot be
Expressing an unending and profound love
Yeah well I guess I was mistaken
Admitting an error and expressing a longing for reunion
And woman I want you back
A declaration that the person never truly left the heart
You never have left my heart now
A factual statement emphasizing the enduring connection
Honey baby that's a fact
An invitation to reunite and establish an everlasting bond
Come to me pine tree and we will never part
A metaphorical suggestion to deepen the connection
We'll put our roots down
A commitment to enduring love and mutual growth
In each other's heart come to me pine tree
A plea to unite in a profound and lasting love
