If I get back from wherever I travel
I'll tell you what I've seen
The good and the bad
The hearts and the hassle
In the cities under siege
I'll tell you all about where I have been
And I won't ever leave again
Now you might think it's a lie
When I say I'm going to write
But if I break my pen filling you in
Wouldn't that change your mind

Evergreen, evergreen
Have you even seen anything, evergreen?

When I get back from wherever I go
I'll look for you in the shade
A marker in the grass
I'll tell you at last
You're not the reason I went away
Sometimes I wish you were the one
Who had left and I had stayed

Evergreen, evergreen
Have you even seen anything, evergreen?
Evergreen, evergreen
Have you even seen anything, evergreen?
