lyrics

S.Hennessey 2009
Evergreen
Your tone is honest as a stone is.
Heavenly as home is, I wanna know,
How you do it better
In truth, our love is bulletproof
And we can push on through this. We can show
How we do it better
Beam down the automated soldiers,
And they can all roll over,
The ordinary dead.
We’ll stay tied together, always
Dancing on cause this is
No ordinary love
Soon our love will light the moon, dear
And I will hold you so near, then we can show
How we do it better
Time will never run out, we will
Always have a refill, seasons will change
But we’re Evergreen
Bring on the elephants and cayman,
Throw us in the fire,
And we’ll come out okay.
Leave us, floating on the ocean;
Sharks can come, cause this is
No ordinary love
