Evergreen

I kissed my penny and I threw it in I prayed I'd keep my soul I went down to the river where the water ends The only place I know Ohhh 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 I'm standing at the wire's edge The Mississippi's overflowing I hold your courage in my hands You bring the meaning to my moments Ohhh 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 (For the trees) And oh I feel so (I feel so) hopeless Against the stream Against the stream So will you wait for me (will you wait) My evergreen I know it's just as hard in heaven (ohhh) So will you wait for me My evergreen I know it's just as hard (as hard) My evergreen Oh my evergreen My evergreen My evergreen Ohhh ohhh
