Strawbs - Evergreen lyrics

rate me

Long gone the days, of which dreams were made<br />

Naive in the glow of evergreen<br />

Innocent days, of fresh airs and graces<br />

The bruising of hearts, the losing of races.<br />

<br />

Passionate days, remember them well<br />

The devil may care of evergreen<br />

We measured success in the stains on the back seat<br />

Our tongues in your mouths, our hands on your heartbeat.<br />

<br />

Evergreen<br />

Sweet evergreen<br />

You are all the love<br />

There's ever been<br />

You are all to me<br />

And more sweet evergreen.<br />

<br />

Gentle the breeze that blows through the trees<br />

Caressing the leaves of evergreen<br />

We married in haste, young lambs to the slaughter<br />

We weep in the arms of a favourite daughter.<br />

<br />

Evergreen<br />

Sweet evergreen<br />

You are all the love<br />

There's ever been<br />

You are all to me<br />

And more sweet evergreen.<br />

<br />

Here in the windchill years of our lives<br />

We dwell in the shade of evergreen<br />

Stirring the last of the slow burning embers<br />

Counting our way through a year of Decembers.<br />

<br />

Evergreen<br />

Sweet evergreen<br />

You are all the love<br />

There's ever been<br />

You are all to me<br />

And more sweet evergreen<br />

Sweet evergreen<br />

You are all the love<br />

There's ever been<br />

You are all to me<br />

And more sweet evergreen.
