evergreen cassette - goldspot lyrics
if i mistook
the sun for a mango
i’d fly up there and reach for it too
it’s the story of something older
and bigger than me and you
and you told it
in a letter
in the form of an evergreen c-ssette
and i played it
in the morning
till after the sun would set
see, mother i believe
that half of everything i hear is true
between you and me
i believe the anecdotes too
in the veranda
in the midnight heat
cousins and i would wait for the rain
singing songs about america
and then the first drops came
so don’t worry
even though you were
oceans and continents away
i heard evergreen hits, lullabies
and everything you had to say
see, mother i believe
that half of everything i hear is true
between you and me
i believe the anecdotes too
if they get you through
if time, time could be bent with the drop of a tear
you’d see it rained in our house for a year
this is the sound of the beating you’d hear
all the tapes we’ve taped over all of our hopes and our fears
the open veranda’s been flooding for years
i always hope that i’d see you here
but time, time can’t be bent with the drop a tear
and though you say you missed out all of those years
your voice on the tapes always kept us near
see, mother i believe
that half of everything i hear is true
between you and me
i believe in everything you do
