e v e r g r e e n Lyrics

I watch the moon

She hides diluted

Behind a blanket of gray

I sing a tune

A whispered lullaby to you

My sleeping lake

I like awake

Wondering if naked branches

Get lonely without leaves

Are they like me?

What a different life I was living here in June

Fall asleep to cricket symphonies and

Shared a bed with blue

I always manage to forget the silence winter brings

Only seem to notice it the most

Alone beneath my sheets

But it's you who comforts me

It's true, my evergreen

I know that everyone leaves

But you always come back

To wrap me in your cold arms

I tilt my head

A desperate search for sun

Who's taken absence for weeks

Uncovered hands

In search of connection but

Quickly numbness creeps

I fight my fate

Following what daylight brings

Circadian, but my

Body must wake

The world says we can't hibernate

What a different life I was living here in spring

I would visit at the coffee shop and

Bake love's sweetest things

I always manage to forget the lonely winter brings

Consistently, I feel it now

My bed remains empty

But it's you who comforts me

It's true, my evergreen

I know that everyone leaves

But you always come back

To wrap me in your

Cold embrace

Romanticize the shorter time to

Ease the pace

Distraction from the dark unwind

We all must face

The chilling kiss of winter come to

Claim her place

At least she won't leave

Without a warning call

Only goes to let me thaw

At least she will stay the fall

My evergreen so tall

But it's you who comforts me

It's true, my evergreen

I know that everyone leaves

But you always come back

To wrap me in your cold arms
