Evergreen

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
