Whispering Pines - The Band (The Band 6 of 10)

WHISPERING PINES
The Band
The Band (1970)

If you find me in a gloom, or catch me in a dream
Inside my lonely room, there is no in between
Whispering pines, rising of the tide
If only one star shines
That's just enough to get inside
I will wait until it all goes 'round
With you in sight, the lost are found

Foghorn through the night, calling out to sea
Protect my only light, 'cause she once belonged to me
Let the waves rush in, let the seagulls cry
For if I live again, these hopes will never die
I can feel you standing there
But I dont see you anywhere

Standing by the well, wishing for the rains
Reaching for the clouds, for nothing else remains
Drifting in a daze, when evening will be done
Try looking through a haze
At an empty house, in the cold, cold sun
I will wait until it all goes round
With you in sight, the lost are found

[Stef Gooren]

they started in the mid of the sixties, stoppen mid seventies and got back together in the eigthies

[belongin]

best falsetto of all time

[Jerry Meadows]

This would just be another very good sad song without Richard. The raw emotion of his voice and the his back-ended piano style make it perhaps the saddest song I've ever heard and then toward the end when Levon accompanies his lead ahead of him, it just adds an extra level of brilliance. A true masterpiece.
