Evergreen
Black Crowes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A song ease your lonely
Let my words take your hand
Let me kiss your rose pedals for you and golden van
Let me point out the birds that fly only for you
And I will do anything that you want me to

[Chorus: x2]
Evergreen, evergreen, prettiest thing I'd ever seen
Come and steer away with me by the moonlight

When playing my garden come and dance in my rain
Come make love in the sunshine
Come lets share our pain
Come fly through this darkness
To be right by my side
And lets walk right through the door
Just to see whats inside

[Chorus: x2]

Show me the way
With the words that you say
With the light of love
And the light of your love

[Chorus: x2]





Evergreen, evergreen [x4]
