Evergreen

Hey baby you don’t look the same
Your tired eyes that used to come home late on Saturdays
Have traces of a different place
Sat in front of a computer screen instead of Tanqueray
And time has come to steal your youth
And you leave behind the catastrophic in exchange for the truth
And in all those times that I’ve lost you
I found myself and I grew even deeper in love with you
You can spend a lifetime
Trying to figure out a way to kill my lifeline
But the most enchanting fortresses of your mind
Is the only way to keep my rhythm alive
You keep me alive
My soul yearns for you
You’ve got my whole heart
Oh, yes you do
And there’s no other way but you
When we sing of love it sets me free
And I go through my day just stoked to see you after three
Oh you’ve both taken my hand and watched me leave
Oh a lot of things have changed but never what you mean to me
You can spend a lifetime
Trying to figure out a way to kill my lifeline
But the most enchanting fortresses of your mind
Is the only way to keep my rhythm alive
You keep me alive
My soul yearns for you
You’ve got my whole heart
Oh, yes you do
And there’s no other way but you
We’ve taken turns
We’ve crashed and burned
But it all remains intact
We just have to learn
To take it slow
Patient love is evergreen
Don’t you know?
Don’t you know?
My soul yearns for you
You’ve got my whole heart
Oh yes you do
My soul yearns for you
You’ve got my whole heart
Oh yes, you do
And there’s no other way but you
At sixty we won’t look the same
I’ll touch your hair and feel those lines under your strands of gray
But in your eyes the stars remain
I take an oath to make you laugh till the end of my days
