Ink fades on a yellow card
The winter wind is hitting hard
Beneath the tall electric wire
The frozen ground is like a pyre
Pinus sylvestris in the breeze
Swaying with a sudden ease
Tracing lines of forest green
The loveliest sight ever seen
The soil is rich and deep and dark
Beneath the rough and cinnamon bark
The needles fall in golden rings
While a lonely blackbird sings
Pinus sylvestris in the breeze
Swaying with a sudden ease
Tracing lines of forest green
The loveliest sight ever seen
A postcard sent from far away
Where the silver maples sway
The telephone poles stand in a row
Watching how the seedlings grow
Pinus sylvestris in the breeze
Swaying with a sudden ease
Tracing lines of forest green
The loveliest sight ever seen
Patient roots hold tight to the clay
Waiting for a warmer day
The ink is blurred by a salty tear
But the summer scent is near
Pinus sylvestris in the breeze
Swaying with a sudden ease
Tracing lines of forest green
The loveliest sight ever seen
Swaying in the forest green
The loveliest sight ever seen
Yeah, it's all so green
