Forever Evergreen

Geronimo said 'don't ya know now
I'm tired of living on the run
Ya can't fight for peace
With the wind in the trees
Bows and arrows
And thrift store guns'
Levon said 'ah, hold your horses
There's, i believe, a better way
As the crow it flies
As the clouds they part the sky
Let me shed some light here if i may'

Chorus
Ease me down in the water
Whisper it'll be ok
Promise me my soul to keep
Whilst i'm throwing shadows from the train
Walk you west upon the moonlight
Walk you tall through what you see
Surrender's songs whistling in the air
Keeping me
Forever evergreen

So he built a great casino
And blew confetti across the land
They asked him why and with a searching eye
He said "trying's the only way i can."
He rolled them bones out till sun up
Yeah he rolled them all away
Till the dealer read
Flicked his ash and said
'chief, i think ya got just one more play'

Chorus
Better ease me down in the water
Whisper it'll be ok
Promise me my soul to keep
Whilst i'm throwing shadows from the train
Walk me west across the moonlight
Walk me tall through what i see
Surrender's songs whistling in the air
Keeping me
Forever evergreen

Chorus
