Today I almost stayed in my bed again

Shades of blue crashing all around my mind

Weighing down like oceans heavy

Dragged away the currents led me

Floating out to sea without a line

She’s a friend in a room full of strangers

The quiet voice that says it’s gonna be ok

Didn’t know where I was going

Played it cool ‘til I felt frozen

‘Til her spring breeze swept across my face

She’s evergreen

Dancing in the kitchen

Windows open even though it’s raining

She holds tight to me and I can breathe again

She’s evergreen

The wind outside is changing

She is steady she’s just swaying

She feels everything and then she’s free again

She’s evergreen

She pours wine and plays a record from the sixties

The Vandellas singing ‘love is like a heatwave’

So she lets it fill her up

To keep her warm when winter comes

And when it breaks she’ll dance out in the rain

And if the girls who made her cry back in high school

Could see the garden she watered with those tears

They would feel all of the joy

Even they could not destroy

And wish they’d been planting lilies

Not poison ivy all those years

She’s evergreen

She’s dancing in the kitchen

Windows open even though it’s raining

She holds tight to me and I can breathe again

She’s evergreen

The wind outside is changing

She is steady she’s just swaying

She feels everything and then she’s free again

She’s evergreen

Wild and sweet she’s everything to me

And when it gets dark she shines her light on me

Oh, she’s evergreen

The wind outside is changing

She is steady she’s just swaying

She feels everything and then she’s free again

She’s evergreen
