Evergreen

Lily Matthews

Eyes (full of excitement for a day of hockey)

Like a sunrise (I slept through Saturday’s sunrise, but the sun was shining down on long road)

Like a rainfall down my soul (Not a raincloud in site)

And I wonder (can the L1s make it 8 games in a row with no losses?)

I wonder why you look at me like that (with a look of anticipation at an exciting game against Bury 2s)

What you’re thinking? (Did we follow Tim’s advice “So much noise”?)

What’s behind? (I left behind my gum shield)

Don’t tell me, but it feels like love (thanks AC for going to get my gum shield)

 

I’m gonna take this moment (to say we absolutely smashed it in the first half)

And make it last forever (4 goals in the first half)

I’m gonna give my heart away (they scored first – broken hearted)

And pray we’ll stay together (but didn’t let it get us down and came back fighting) 

‘Cause you’re the one good reason (great team talk at half time from our one good coach Tim)

You’re the only girl that I need (Guess who’s back? Captain Jenny!)

‘Cause you’re more beautiful than I have ever seen (check out our VEO footage)

I’m gonna take this night and make it evergreen (AC did not have a green card on him, so the opposition saw yellow)

 

Touch (Loopy touched the ball and saved us a few times when they got away on a break)

Like an angel (Anna and Nic making gorgeous passes up the (angel) wings)

Like a velvet to my skin (Kim making fab tackles and putting it on their feet/shin (skin)) 

And I wonder (how are Katie and Evie so good at linking play?)

I wonder why you wanna stay the night (I wonder how Maddy and Jess have so much energy for driving into the D)

What you’re dreaming? (Dreaming of Kate’s central control of the game) 

What’s behind? (Bury 2’s)

Don’t tell me but it feels like love (We are all in love with Sophie’s slick skills – MOM)

 

I’m gonna take this moment (to say Katie score from a short corner first woop woop)

And make it last forever (followed by big Hannah in open play getting a rebound of keepers pads)

I’m gonna give my heart away (Lily attempted to run around the keeper and was taken down and a flick was given)

And pray we’ll stay together, yeah (team work makes the dream work – Izzy scored the flick)

‘Cause you’re the one good reason (Kerryn’s speedy runs led to a shot on goal and scored in open play)

You’re the only girl that I need (the L1s are the only team you need)

‘Cause you’re more beautiful than I have ever seen (check out our pre-match photo) 

 

I’m gonna take this night and make it evergreen (sing it girls!!)

And make it evergreen (AND MAKE IT EVERGREEEEEEEN)
