Pine Needle Blues - Hot Feet

Baby I know you don’t care for me no more

Baby I know you don’t care for me no more

I went out to Sweden and tried to ignore

The climbing of your words through the crack in the door

But when I walk out in the dark

I feel a little closer to you

And if I stay here and stray till I starve

I’ll feel a little closer to you

So arguing with my mind I left

Deciding to my feet to where my feet would lead my head

I came to the woods where the pine needle thread

Did lace around my knees and sprouted leaves around my legs

Feeling light-headed I accepted defeat

I’d rather be bound to the shade than the heat

I rested my back to the bark of a tree

But the bark started heaving as the skies began to feed

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

But when I walk out in the dark

I feel a little closer to you

And if I stay here and stray here till I starve

I’ll feel a little closer to you

But when I walk out in the dark

I feel a little closer to you

And if I stay here and stray here till I starve

I’ll feel a little closer to you

You told me that winter would bring me home

But honey I only got lost in the cold

And oh, these branches clasp and coil around my bones

I’m crying out for you

But you’re already too far down

You’re already too far down

You’re already too far down

And you

The last I saw of him

Was a stale stark morning in the spring

I clutched at his coat collar weeping

And he said that he had to be going

Now baby I know you can’t hear me anymore

Baby I know you can’t hear me anymore

But I’ll keep writing to you and I’ll try to ignore

The climbing of your words that don’t come here any more
