Evergreen

I remember words you said to me

When the tough girls got the final scene

And I was crying in the hall

Evergreen

Evergreen

In the heat of all their disbelief

When they said to send the sailors in

Were you ever scared at all

Standing in the hallway

Thinking it was my fault

You said if we had done it your way

That would not be the outcome

Evergreen

Evergreen

I remember all the words I would hear

When I kept on looking for a seat

In a room far too big

Evergreen

Evergreen

I remember all the melodies

When the voices got the best of me

You would make them disappear

All the lilies and the ribbons

My own diamonds and pearls

Were they all your ways of shelter

To save me from the hurt

You covered up my feathers

When they were too soaked to fly

Conversation in color

Made wonders to let them dry

Want to thank you for the letters

The barefoot adoration

The kindness and the warm cheeks

When I had to go back again

Evergreen

Evergreen

I remember words you said to me

When the tough girls got the final say

And I was crying in the hall

Evergreen

Evergreen

In the heat of all their disbelief

When they said to send the sailors in

Were you ever scared at all
