Turnpike Troubadours - Evangeline lyrics

rate me

Looking back well I see you

with eyes that shouldn’t be so blue

Clearer than the calm before the rain

I saw a light that wasn’t there

I lived without a single care

I loved you & you felt to make the same

So beautiful that words cannot define

Sweeter than the lords communion wine…

Evangeline can’t you see I’m sorry

Can’t you hear my tears ringing through the night

Waiting in hell between these bed sheets

Pray to god for morning light

Then winter came and blood ran cold

the ever present sleet and snow

outside a December window pane

this house will never, be our home

hand in hand, we walked alone

I thought the sun would never shine again

Then the oldest violin can never wind

A mellow day as sorrowful as mine….

Evangeline can't you see I'm sorry

Can't you hear my tears ringing through the night

Waiting in hell between these bed sheets

Pray to god for morning light

Now ive seen your face a thousand times,

have nightmares running through my mind

& it hurts,

Just to pretend

But the devil failed and so have I

From perfect grace you faced the sky

I never thought a love like this would end

Now your words cut right thru me like a knife

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

Waiting in hell between these bed sheets

Pray to god for morning light

Waiting in hell between these bed sheets

Pray to God for morning light
