Evergreen Lyrics

Take my word it's not for granted

Like the leaves on summer trees

Light the fire, watch my world burn

Hear me sob so audibly

You're the soul that makes the earth spin

How could I ever think to leave

Avert their eyes and change the memo

Divert and let it go

My roots have been unwound

Trying to let the gates of my heart down

But I can try to buy the trust

Of someone new

My love lasts through until the winter

Renew it always like a vow

Drop the bridge, let the flood rush in

Just to see what the heart allows

You gave me grace out by the river

The words you spoke show me mercy

Dig the earth up with your bare hands

Life with love is so dirty

The sky cries to kill the fire

Keep me warm with just a sigh

Bite my tongue to stay in line

Hold me close and keep the time

Our roots, they intertwine

As we face the world sin to sin

And if the evergreen falls

Can we listen in

Our love lasts through until the winter

Renew it always like a vow

Drop the bridge, let the flood rush in

Just to see what the heart allows

Choose me once cause it's the last time

The days of old are left behind

The words you speak they release me

I wouldn't ever think to leave

Take my word it's not for granted

Like the leaves on evergreens
