Lyrics

Evergreen

You chose a song-singer
And a lonely life
Cut deeper with my words
Than I ever could a knife
Sleep on the couch
listening to ‘The Bends’
Sent me away
then I lost my friends

You can bend so far
Til a heart breaks
Was a young man
Making young mistakes
I recall it all
I Still regret
You pretend we never met

How could you let it die
I dreamed that we could fly
You never left the Evergreen
When i touched the ground
You tried to hold me down
Saddest thing I’ve ever seen
Buried in the Evergreen

Got your armor on,
ready for a fight
got it all together
you’d better get it right
Freight train coming
Took your eyes off the road
Then we watched the world explode…

How could you let it die
I dreamed that we could fly
You never left the Evergreen
When I touched the ground
Tried to pull me down
Saddest thing I’ve ever seen
Buried in the Evergreen

Bridge
Where will you go?
When you finally know
It ain’t about what ya got
It’s about what you grow.

Mary, Queen of the Evergreen

Saddest thing I’ve ever seen

Buried in the Evergreen (repeating)

(Mary how has our garden grown?
Mary, you’re the saddest girl I’ve ever known
I’ve ever known
