I kissed my penny and I threw it in
I prayed I'd keep my soul
Went down to the river where the water bends
The only place I know
Oh, I can't see
The forest, for the trees
So will you wait for me?
Will you wait for me?
Will you wait for me?

My evergreen
Standing at the water's edge
The Mississippi's overflowing
Hold your current in my hands
You bring the meaning to my moments
Oh, I can't see
The forest, for the trees
So will you wait for me?
Will you wait for me?
Will you wait for me?
My evergreen
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
