Evergreen

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
