Jones Street Station evergreen

I saw your face before you came
Hope upon hope day after day
Now that you're here I'll keep you safe
No one will take you away
Year after year it's all the same
Criminals win and widows pay
A pile of sand form shattered pearls
Beauty will not save the word
But won't you walk with me
Underneath the pine trees
Promise that we can be, can be
But won't you walk with me
Underneath the pine trees
Promise that we can be
Evergreen
Won't you tread softly in my home
We have a child trying to grow
It's dark outside but light in here
Why can't it shine just one more year
Maybe the time has finally come
When hope has died and fear has won
A snowy dream covered in stains
Everyone slowly goes grey
So won't you walk with me
Underneath the pine trees
Promise that we can be
Evergreen
All your friends and lovers
Sisters and your brothers
Flowers in the summer sun
Bright for a day
Won't you walk with me
Underneath the pine trees
Promise that we can be
Evergreen
