Evangeline

You stood slow, is the way I remember you being The summer slough, innocent love growing hard and strong and teething So when the sky grew dark, like an old glass jar Black dye in the water, as a circle spun We were the lucky ones Thunder rolls, you showed me what a love could bring Cold wind blows, discovered what a love could mean Darkness holds, oh, my sweet Evangeline You were the wild eyes shining You were the wild eyes shining Shiver cold, at the wind and the waterside meeting Summer goes, do you wave her farewell, then sigh towards home, 'cause you can't keep it So when the grass bent down, under the loudest sound Of dead silence surrounding and what was to come We were the lucky ones When the thunder rolls, you showed me what a love could bring Cold wind blows, discovered what a love could mean Darkness holds, oh, my sweet Evangeline You were the wild eyes shining You were the wild eyes shining
