Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I kissed my penny and I threw it in
I prayed I keep my soul
Went down to the river where the water bends
The only place I know
[Verse 2]
Oh, I can't see
The forest for the trees
[Verse 3]
So will you wait for me?
Will you wait for me?
Will you wait for me?
My evergreen
[Verse 4]
Standing at the water's edge
The Mississippi's overflowing
Hold your current in my hands
You bring the meaning to my moments
[Verse 5]
Oh, I can't see
The forest for the trees
[Verse 6]
So will you wait for me?
Will you wait for me?
Will you wait for me?
My evergreen
[Verse 7]
Oh, I can't see
The forest for the trees
Oh, I feel so
Hopeless against the stream
[Verse 8]
So will you wait for me?
My evergreen
I know it's just as hard in heaven
So will you wait for me?
My evergreen
I know it's just as hard
My evergreen
Evergreen
My evergreen
