Way up to the Sky

It was a hard time

It was a long line

It was a steep climb

With too many kids to handle

She got her kids raised

And her nerves frayed

As her life blazed through her eyes

Made out of candles

Those lumber trucks kept rolling south

With their loads of pines and rumbling sounds

As fast as they could grow, they cut them down

Fast as they could go, the kids left town

And I wonder

If there's somewhere

The pines reach way up to the sky

And go on and on there

The sun wasn't so low

It was summеrtime

But the trees werе making shadows of September

In comes the hard freeze

Early this year

How did she end up here?

She can't remember

He said the reason he was carrying on

Was that every bit of love he had for her was gone

So was it just the blink of an eye or just dragging on?

She never did know what it was that they wanted

And I wonder

If there's somewhere

The pines reach way up to the sky

And go on and on there
