Evergreen lyrics

The fields where white with the wings of gulls This time last September When evening came in the afternoon Too gently to remember Spruce and laurel Pine and yew Needle, cone and splinter Will love stay green As the years grow few And spring turns into winter A face as pale as a daylight moon Embers in the ashes Evening lights in the afternoon A fire behind your lashes Spruce and laurel Pine and yew Needle, cone and splinter Will love stay green As the years grow few And spring turns into winter Breathe on an ember Time in time our love We'll lovingly remember May to December Limb by limb, our love We'll lovingly dismember Leaves that curl at the touch of frost Fall apart in your fingers But evergreen is the love we have While the memory lingers Spruce and laurel Pine and yew Needle, cone and splinter Will love stay green As the years grow few And spring turns into winter
