By The Pines Lyrics

When my breathing got erratic

Pretty soon the verdict fell

Cold body in the clinic

And one foot into hell

Tears were running down your cheeks but

I couldn't wipe them dry

And I hadn't held you close for weeks

But I couldn't remember why

Oh why the disease reigned supreme

And it seemed the gods weren't kind

Oh when the disease reigned so supreme

They had to lay me by the pines

And now I'm haunting them old walls

I'm a shadow about to be outrun

I hear the undertaker's call

And I'm fading with the setting sun

So farewell my sweet little baby

This time I have to say goodbye

Coz now my soul is being laid in the graveyard

By the pines

Oh by the pines

Hmmmmmm

Hmmmmmm

Hmmmmmm
