Evergreen Lyrics

Venture west they said

There's a forest out there

Far away

The elements can batter

At her threshold

But she grows on

Just the same

So much life inside her

It'd take a lifetime to survey

No apostate to my nature

I have wandered here alone

With an inkling for my compass

And no string attached to guide me safely home

And I'm no expert on what

Grows beneath your shade

Only journeyed far

In the hope you'd let me stay

I want to wander

Through your woods awhile

I want to know

The size and shape of every leaf

I want to drink the rain that falls

From your trees on high

I want to know if you are

What you look to be

Beautiful, but above all else

You seem

Evergreen

And I'll keep quiet here

Observe your mystery

And walk the winding paths

With no knowing

Where they lead

And maybe they'll just

Spit me out

And I'll be doomed

To wander more

But what a shame that'd be

There's much here to adore

I want to wander

Through your woods awhile

I want to know

The size and shape of every leaf

I want to drink the rain that falls

From your trees on high

I want to know if you are

What you look to be

Beautiful, but above all else

You seem

Evergreen

Evergreen don't need

Your lumber for my bed

I'll take my rest

Up in your branches in the air

And let the evening breeze

Be comfort and my cover

And quietly I'll

Mindfully I'll

Peacefully I'll

Mind the fruit you bear

Don't want to own

The land you grow upon

Don't want to carve my name

In hearts on all your trees

Just don't expel me

'Til I see the dawn

And the way

The sunlight break your canopy

Cause I don't know

But I think you are

Cause you sure look

This way to me

Oh I tell you

I tell you

You’re evergreen

Evergreen
