I thought I'd never
Write again in December
About the same green-eyed stranger
Guess the desperation's major this time
Nothing feels better
Must be this depressing weather
And the clouds getting greyer
Someone teleport me out of my mind
I know the green my brown eyes remember
I knew the green that grew all November
From the red soil inside the walls of my castle heart
When he said "hello" they fell apart
I long for green when I think of him
I long for an evergreen love, an evergreen love
I swore I'd never ever
Get this crazy about whoever
I see your name pop on my calendar
Mu meme nenzijukira
Omukwano gwendese
Mu kibira'eyo ekye Ssese
Solomon, say it don't make sense
To leave a love so kilagala
I know the green I longed for as a teen
And I thought a queen ruled always with a king
But when the dead soil inside my heart grew these weeds to life
I got so distracted I missed the signs
I long for green but I'm not 19
So, what's with this evergreen love
What's with this evergreen love
It's the madness, it's the madness of loneliness talking
It's despair on this road I am walking
All the truth in me is mangled and messed up
Coz, I chased and finally frightened it off
Yet I know that green takes growth, takes patience
And I know I need to put down this restlessness inside
And all these things I've idolized
I long for green but I'll grow the green and someday
An evergreen love
An evergreen love
