Evangeline (Live)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a silver stream laid across the sky And the city lifts up its arms to it As I wait for you, Evangeline Yes, my eyes have seen your unselfishness And my fingers touched your two sleeping lips As the echoes passed just beneath our heads As the city flashed just beneath the cloud That protected us from an emptiness That concealed the stars and reflected sound And then drifted down in a diamond mist As I watched you breathe, as I watched you dream [Chorus] Evangeline, Evangeline Evangeline, Evangeline Evangeline, Evangeline Evangeline, Evangeline Evangeline, Evangeline Evangeline, Evangeline [Verse 2] In your tenderness, in your innocence You were far away, with your secret bliss You were far away, with your perfect God You were far away, in a silent field Evangeline, naked skin Where the yellow dust kissed your hollow lung [Chorus] Evangeline, Evangeline Evangeline, Evangeline Evangeline, like a shinin' vein Evangeline, with your moonlight chain Evangeline, with your steel door dreams Evangeline, with your open gate Evangeline, Evangeline Evangeline, Evangeline Evangeline, Evangeline Evangeline, Evangeline [Outro] I can feel it now, feel it now Feel it now, feel it now Feel it now, feel it now Feel it now, feel it now Feel it now, feel it now Then it's gone
