lyrics

They were 16 and 17
looking for a world they had yet to see
Down in Evergreene

and it burned so blue
and it burned so high
from their view they saw many things in flight

and the ashes did turn to snow
falling down upon the little red noses
of Evergreene

I found you there
in the darkened square
and your tear-soaked eyes beneath your rosy red hair

(Make haste now through this land of doom, every tree-house on the hills of Evergreene will lend us a room)

From the treetops we looked around
nothing left but gentle chiming sounds
from Evergreene

effervescently,
candescently,
we cascaded down through the amethyst parsley

Seeing others that made it here
finding that their lives were now devoid of fear
down in Evergreene

for the first time, all
did feel so free
finding sides of themselves that they never had seen

(Hold my hand it will be alright soon, look how close we've come to the crescent moon...)

Now they're 20 and 21
and what different children they have become
Down in Evergreene

looking different ways
apart from one
after all this, sharing the same red sun

and they part ways forevermore
one will stay and one will begin exploring
what was left of things

and they'll see through to brand new ways of life
sung about by their ancestors of many yesternights

(And all those that we love so dear
are safe now after so many years
and together again.)
