Evergreen

I kissed my penny and I threw it in
Pray I keep my soul
Went down to the river where the water bends
Only place I know
Oh I can't see
The forest for the trees
So will you wait for me?
Will you wait for me?
Will you wait for me?
My evergreen
Stand down at the water's edge
The Mississippi's overflowing
Pour your current in my hand
You bring the meaning to my moments
Oh I can't see
The forest for the trees
So will you wait for me?
Will you wait for me?
Will you wait for me?
My evergreen
Oh I can't see
The forest for the trees
Oh I feel so
Hopeless against the stream
So will you wait for me, my evergreen?
I know it's just as hard in heaven
So will you wait for me, my evergreen?
I know it's just as hard
My evergreen
Evergreen
My evergreen
