Lyrics
I was thinking of long ago
It's pretty late now, it's pretty late for me
I recall a young evergreen
I had a feller, he was so mean
He was so mean
Turned my heart evergreen
Never blue never yellow again
Just in-between
You like every break to be nice and clean
But you stay with me, Evergreen
He said, "Heather, if you can fill
my heart with furniture
I will fill your house with love."
And then he didn't so I stole his line
I had a feller, but he had me
He had me just a-scrambling down the tree
To be motionless at his side
At his tradepost of lies
And one day, that Evergreen
She's returning, she's returning to the trees
With the owls you can hear her screech
You like every break to be nice and clean
You've broken away, Evergreen
