Whispers in the Pines

Verse

She wandered past the old pine line where the path turns thin and the daylight fades,

her footsteps soft as falling ash while the forest swallowed every sound she made.

Verse

They searched for days but the woods stayed silent, holding its secrets tight beneath the moss,

and when the last lantern dimmed, the wind whispered that she was never really lost.

Chorus

Now the branches sway when no breeze blows, and the shadows move like they’re following you,

and if you listen close you’ll hear her humming the song she sang the night she vanished from view.

Verse

They say her eyes still glow between the trees, pale as moonlight on a winter stream,

and anyone who walks too deep feels her breath behind them, cold as a broken dream.

Bridge

She doesn’t scream, she doesn’t speak, she just watches with a patience carved from the dark,

waiting for another wandering soul to step too far and leave their final mark.

Outro

And when the forest grows quiet, when the birds fall still and the air turns thin,

that’s when she’s closest—drifting through the pines, searching for someone new to pull in.
