Evangeline |
| Lookin' back, well I see you |
| With eyes that shouldn’t be so blue |
| Clearer than the calm before the rain |
| So alive it wasn’t fair |
| To live without a single care |
| I loved you and you felt for me the same |
| So beautiful that words cannot define |
| Sweeter than the Lord’s communion wine |
| Evangeline, can’t you see I’m sorry? |
| Can’t you hear my tears ringing through the night? |
| I wait in hell between these bedsheets |
| And pray to God for morning light |
| And winter came and blood ran cold |
| As ever-present sleet and snow |
| Outside of a December window pane |
| And this house would never be our home |
| Oh hand-in-hand we walked alone |
| I thought the sun would never shine again |
| And the oldest violin could never whine |
| A melody as sorrowful as mine |
| Evangeline, can’t you see I’m sorry? |
| Can’t you hear my tears ringing through the night? |
| I wait in hell between these bedsheets |
| And pray to God for morning light |
| And now I’ve seen your face a thousand times |
| Nightmares running through my mind |
| It hurts just to pretend |
| But the Devil fell and so have I |
| From perfect grace, your face to sky |
| I never thought a love like this would end |
| Now your words, they cut right through me like a knife |
| Well I gave my love and now I take my life |
| Evangeline, can’t you see I’m sorry? |
| Can’t you hear my tears ringing through the night? |
| I wait in hell between these bedsheets |
| And pray to God for morning light |
| I wait in hell between these bedsheets |
| And pray to God for morning light |
