EVERGREEN

I’m all in pleading with you give me shelter in your arms for all that I do. - Oh my love I keep the faith and I’ve run a good race, with what I’ve done all in good fun. - i’ll measure as the sun beats down - Look at the patterns in every matter and the evidence etched across the surface of my heart - as I’m flossing my whites I long for surrender My mirror twin couldn’t agree more - Think of what I’ll tell your grandchildren “Close your eyes and imagine as a poppyseed might” “Papa and nana” “Nana and Papa, two” Until the day we die Always forever, Strands connecting me and you Always forever, Happy times and when we’re blue - Everybody says we have so much in common, “Did you see the lovebirds uptown?” - May you never tire of my humour for now i build it around you - Give all i can give while i can give it to you and our little ones too - Think of what I’ll tell your grandchildren “Close your eyes and imagine as a poppyseed might” “Papa and nana” “Nana and Papa, two” Until the day we die Always forever, Strands connecting me and you Always forever, Happy times and when we’re blue I’d take and wrap my arms ‘round you Think of what I’ll write to each fair-weather friend Mary or Todd couldn’t believe in us yet We’re only evergreen, it’s all that’s happening - Earth keeps on with turning the young and old ones are learning the price of love i was empty you fill me up - always forever - Think of what I’ll tell your grandchildren “Close your eyes and imagine as a poppyseed might” “Papa and nana” “Nana and Papa, two” Until the day we die Always forever, Strands connecting me and you Always forever, Happy times and when we’re blue I’d take and wrap my arms ‘round you Always forever, always forever
