Evergreen

I kissed my penny and I threw it in
I pray I keep my soul
Went down to the river where the water bends
The 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, wait for me
My evergreen

Standing at the water's edge
The Mississippi's overflowing
Hold your current in my hands
You bring the meaning to my moments

Oh I can't see the forest for the trees
So will you wait for me
So will you wait for me
Will you wait for me
My evergreen
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
(Will you wait for me)
My evergreen
(My evergreen)
I know it's just as hard
(I know, I know)
In heaven
So will you wait for me
My evergreen
I know it's just as hard
(I know it's just as hard)
Just as hard
I know it's just as hard
I know it's just as hard
I know it's just as hard
My evergreen
My evergreen
My evergreen
