Lyrics
[Intro - Banjo and Mandolin Turnaround with Harmonica]
[Verse 1]
[Female Singer 1]
The sun drops down behind the ridge, the shadows start to grow
The creek is humming soft and low, the only sound I know
I sweep the porch and pull a chair, and watch the evening fade
Just me and all these mountain trees, standing in the shade
[Verse 2]
[Female Singer 2]
The woodstove gives a quiet crack, the kettle starts to sing
I wrap my shawl around my chest and wait to see what evening brings
The valley fills with misty blue, the twilight turns to gray
Another quiet mountain night at the closing of the day
[Chorus]
[Both Female Singers - Harmony]
Oh, the wind comes whistling through the pine
I hold this cup of tea of mine
The moon climbs up the hollow white
And leaves me alone tonight
Yeah, the stars shine sharp and bright
And leave me alone tonight
[Verse 3]
[Female Singer 1]
My mama told me long ago that peace is hard to find
You gotta dig it from the dirt and leave the world behind
[Female Singer 2]
So here I sit in quiet grace, no footsteps on the floor
Just the night breeze blowing through the screen upon the door
[Bridge 1 - Mandolin Lead & Vocal Harmonies]
[Both Female Singers]
Some folk fear the quiet, some folk need the crowd
I prefer the back hills when the silence gets so loud
When the world stops spinning and the river runs clear
There ain't no heavy troubles that can reach me way up here
[Chorus]
[Both Female Singers - Harmony]
Oh, the wind comes whistling through the pine
I hold this cup of tea of mine
The moon climbs up the hollow white
And leaves me alone tonight
Yeah, the stars shine sharp and bright
And leave me alone tonight
[Instrumental Break - Banjo, Mandolin, and Harmonica Ad-libs]
[Verse 4]
[Female Singer 2]
I hear an owl across the ridge, calling soft and slow
A hound dog barks three miles away down in the flat below
[Female Singer 1]
It's simple life, it's honest ground, it's all I'll ever need
A little cabin on the hill, a quiet life to lead
[Bridge 2 - Harmonica Lead & Vocal Harmonies]
[Both Female Singers]
Let the city hustle, let the highway roar
I've got everything I want right here inside my door
In the heart of Kentucky, where the laurels grow green
It's the peacefulest place that I have ever seen
[Verse 5]
[Female Singer 1]
The fire dies down to glowing coals, the clock ticks on the wall
[Female Singer 2]
I lay my head upon the pillow as the dark shadows fall
[Both Female Singers]
No lingering worries, no heavy cross to bear
Just a quiet prayer sent upward through the cool night air
[Bridge 3 - Full Bluegrass Ensemble & Vocal Ad-libs]
[Both Female Singers]
Oh, alone ain't lonely when your soul is at rest
Up here in the high hills, I am truly blessed
Let the dark night settle, let the morning wait
I am right where I belong beside this porch gate
[Chorus]
[Both Female Singers - Harmony]
Oh, the wind comes whistling through the pine
I hold this cup of tea of mine
The moon climbs up the hollow white
And leaves me alone tonight
Yeah, the stars shine sharp and bright
And leave me alone tonight
[Instrumental Ad-libs - Harmonica and Banjo Call-and-Response]
[Tag 1]
[Both Female Singers]
Yeah, the moon climbs white, leaves me alone tonight
[Tag 2]
[Female Singer 1]
Just the wind in the pines, alone tonight
[Tag 3]
[Both Female Singers - Final Harmony]
Back in the Kentucky hills... alone tonight
[Outro - Slowing Mandolin Strum and Harmonica Fade]
