Evergreen

As kids we swore We'd run away And start a life together in the woods But home in time for dinner We could never stay Cause suns were always setting on the Shrinking autumn days while we just Never knew What we had to lose I'd give it all to never know Which au revoir would be our last I'm sorting seconds on the floor like shards of broken glass, but I can see you just beyond the veil of New Year's Eve Lying underneath the evergreen A promise kept We ran away But in separate directions from The forest understories never told Now we wither and decay But seeds are buried making way For another season's children who just Never knew What they had to lose I'd give it all to never know Which au revoir would be our last I'm sorting seconds on the floor like shards of broken glass, but I can see you just beyond the veil of New Year's Eve Lying underneath the evergreen You laid me to rest In orange and red To find out just what of myself is left Why couldn't you take These fallen leaves These pieces of me I hate I'd give it all to never know Which au revoir would be our last I'm sorting seconds on the floor like shards of broken glass, but I can see you just beyond the veil of New Year's Eve Lying underneath the evergreen
