Pines
Written by Diana Wild

I made if out of Knoxville, it took a long, long time
Finally moved my heart away
But sometimes, I still sit and pine.

There's pining in the folded notes passed from hand to hand
There's pining in the newspapers down at the corner stand.
And the pining gets even better when the wind bends the trees
Pine needles flying, floating down
The crystal clear mountain streams.

I packed my suitcase when I left, left the rest behind.
I didn't want all that ragged stuff, but
Sometimes, I still sit and pine.

There's pining in the mournful songs played by mournful bands,
There's pining at the microphones in joints across the land,
And the pining gets even better when the sun does it's thing
And shines it's light on all of us who joyful, mournful, sing.

Looking back in history at all those written lines
I know I'm not the only one who sometimes
Sits and pines.

There's pining in the paintings that hang on walls across the land,
There's pining in the dog-eared notebooks in the backs of rusty vans,
And the pining gets even better when the rain fills the streams
And pours down mountains into valleys and washes away
Those burning memories.

I won't go back to Knoxville, no more flashing neon signs
I'm moving to the mountains
To live among.....the ponderosa pines.

Diana Wild has been singing since she was a small child. She started playing guitar in her 20's and wrote her first song 25 years later. She has now written 100's of songs but managed to narrow them down to 10, in this, her debut full length recording.
She is especially grateful to Mac Charles who shared a year of his life putting this little gem together.
