Evergreen

from Beyond My Showerhead by Tommy DiMeo

/

lyrics

To me the trees lose leaves not ‘cause the cold comes to end fall
But to remind themselves they'd never been untainted after all

And I've been far from evergreen
Collecting leaf piles in-between
Each season
Or so it seems

So I chose you
It was such a hurried thing to do
But I was in a winter that had overstayed it's welcome

Searching for the igloo that could wipe away the cold
I’d been drawn to stable structures
As I felt my bones grow old
Now I know you're worth more
Than bricks of snow
But let me stand afar and claim I
Know that you'll stay

Evergreen, be my evergreen
Lie to me
Say you'll make me whole

I wasn't out the woods yet when I saw them cut you down
How strange viewed from a distance, I’m familiar with the sound
Cause I’ve been behind that saw, oh I have worked upon their crew
But in my unemployment I’m just lookin’ on to you ‘cause
You're my evergreen, won’t you
Please stay evergreen, with me
Lie to me
Convince me that you’re whole

I’m no gardener, true,
Just a has-been faking love with you
To save me from what’s been
my own device
I think I’d rather die alone
Than scheme from off this
Fool’s gold throne

Your insides are aching
The outsiders claim that it’s mine for the taking

And my heart is breaking
Sitting watching you through
Brown bystander eyes
Knowing such a pretty casing
Holds such broken down inside

I'd glue all your leaves back on
If I suspected it might help
But I know no one's meant to live that way
It's not your fault you'll never

Be my evergreen
Won’t you please stay evergreen, with me
Lie to me
Convince me that you’re whole

Be my evergreen
Be my evergreen

Say you’ll make me whole
