Evergreen

I kissed my penny and I threw it in
 I prayed I'd keep my soul
 Went down to the river where the water bends
 The only place I know
 Oh I can't see
 The forest, for the trees
 So, will you wait for me?
 Will you wait for me?
 Will you wait for me?
 My evergreen
 
 Standin' at the water's edge
 The Mississippi's overflowin' (yeah)
 Hold your current in my hands
 You bring the meanin' to my moments
 Oh-oh (ohh) I-ee-I (can't see)
 The forest for the trees
 So, will you wait for me?
 Will you wait for me?
 Will you wait for me?

 Oh, I can't see
 The forest, for the trees
 Oh, I feel so
 Hopeless against the stream
 So, will you wait for me? My evergreen
 I know it's just as hard in Heaven
 So, will you wait for me? My evergreen
 I know it's just as hard
 My evergreen
