Red shoes go sailing
through the trees
leaving no traces at all
not even a scatter in the leaves
the reflections are only memories

Evergreen, lay down beside me
Evergreen
Evergreen
Evergreen,
make me feel whole again
Help me undo these chains,
love
Evergreen never says
nothing that's mean
Evergreen
Evergreen, my love
My love

It might be easy
to judge all that kindness
If you had grown accustomed
to the darkness in the light
but certainly any room
with a view of other windows
Must have doors that you can use
So you can be happy
for the first time in your love
Amen, it's your destiny
It can start any time
And maybe you'll find someone
to lay some roots down next to you
And be more like the trees
and less like the clouds
stop moving around so much

Evergreen, lay down beside me
Evergreen
Evergreen
Evergreen, make me feel whole again
Help me undo these chains, love
Evergreen, lay down beside me
Evergreen
Evergreen, make me feel whole again
Help me undo these chains, love
Evergreen never says
nothing that's mean
Evergreen
Evergreen, my love
My love
