Evergreen - Strawbs

Cousins

Long gone the days of which dreams we’re made

Naive in the glow of evergreen

Innocent days of fresh airs and graces

The bruising of hearts, the loosing of races

Passionate days, remember them well

The devil may care of evergreen

We measured success in the stains on the back seat

Our tongues in your mouths, our hands on your heartbeat

Evergreen, sweet evergreen

You are all the love

There’s ever been

You are all to me

And more sweet evergreen

Gentle the breeze that blows through the trees

Caressing the leaves of evergreen

We married in haste, young lambs to the slaughter

We weep in the arms of a favorite daughter

Evergreen, sweet evergreen

You are all the love

There’s ever been

You are all to me

And more sweet evergreen

Here in the wind chill years of our lives

We dwell in the shade of evergreen

Stirring the last of the slow burning embers

Counting our way through a year of Decembers

Evergreen, sweet evergreen

You are all the love

There’s ever been

You are all to me

And more sweet evergreen

Sweet evergreen

You are all the love

There’s ever been

You are all to me

And more sweet evergreen
