When all I listened to for a year was Sufjan Stevens in 2012

The pines whisper low
Secrets in the wind
I hear them hum
But they never rescind
A trail of footsteps
Fading in the dew
Where were you going? I never knew

[Chorus]
Echoes of the pines
Calling me back home
Through the hollowed hills
Where the wild things roam
Oh
Echoes of the pines
They sing to me tonight
A melody of longing
Beneath the pale moonlight

[Verse 2]
The river runs deep
Carving stories untold
Its banks hold the scars
The dreams it stole
A raven watches
Perched on the bending oak
It knows what I’ve lost
But it never spoke

[Prechorus]
The wind carries whispers
Soft and low
The kind only the wanderers know

[Chorus]
Echoes of the pines
Calling me back home
Through the hollowed hills
Where the wild things roam
Oh
Echoes of the pines
They sing to me tonight
A melody of longing
Beneath the pale moonlight

[Bridge]
I chased the sun
But it fell behind the ridge
Crossed the valley
Lingered at the broken bridge
The forest breathes
It knows my name
But it’s never quite the same
Never quite the same
