I met her in the shadow
Of an old white pine
I was just trying to make it through
Before the winds of winter blew
She was hanging up her clothes on the line
She called me in through her back door
Out from that lonesome road
We laughed just like old friends
Left our lives alone to bend
Was it love or just the wine how can you know
How can you know, how can you know
Was it love or just the wine, how can you know
I left her in the morning
Before the sun could rise
There were no words to say goodbye
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes
She's got promises to keep and I got mine
I got mine, I got mine
She's got promises to keep and I got mine
