The Oaks of Evergrove

I hang my head down low retracing my steps

Time goes slow, I feel like a mess

I look back at the pics I kept

And I won't stop, no I won't rest

We're still not home

Run fast, darling, don't let go

I still hold hope

Down in the oaks of Evergrove

Your mama said that it's not like you

The town went silent that afternoon

And the cops said you're a runaway drunk

But I know that you're waiting on love

Meet me down by the rendezvous tree

I got two train tickets just for you and me

And now they don't care what they say on the news

'Cause your parents hate me and the world hates you

Romeo, you cry out to me

Juliet, we'll get away safely

We're still not home

Run fast, darling, don't let go

I still hold hope

Down in the oaks of Evergrove
