Evergreen

I’m smiling now, in a foolish way
Oh what a difference just a day can make
I have been enamoured of my pain
With scattered white debris on a black plate
And I love you in a quiet way
With a well-mannered and postured paraphrase
‘Cause I’ve known nothing to be quite as it seems
But what we leave behind could be Evergreen
Stay with me, we’ll watch the sun
Rise and bathe the world as we burn on
And everything that I have left undone
Comes looking for me beneath a wayward sun
I stutter now, I got a brand new tic
On the bad days I can’t say shit
But the bed-headed Mr. Manners
Never goes to sleep
«He's a good guy
But he’s doing this all week»
And I love you in hieroglyphics
In an ancient and glowing language!
To think that love was a rabid dog from hell
I could never trust it to treat me well
Stay with me, we’ll watch the sun
Rise and bathe the world as we burn on
And everything that I have left undone
Comes looking for me beneath a wayward sun
Stay with me, we’ll watch the sun
Rise and bathe the world as we burn on
And everything that I have left undone
Comes looking for me beneath a wayward sun
