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 above our heads As the city flashed just beneath the cloud That concealed the stars and reflected sound That protected us from an emptiness And then, drifted down in a diamond mist As I watched you breathe, as I watched you dream Evangeline, Evangeline Evangeline, Evangeline Evangeline, Evangeline Evangeline, Evangeline ♪ 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 Where the yellow dust traced your naked skin Where the gentle flame kissed your hollow lung Evangeline, like an acid stream Evangeline, like a shining vein Evangeline, with your moonlight chain Evangeline, with your open gate Evangeline, with your steel door dreams Evangeline, Evangeline Evangeline, Evangeline Evangeline, Evangeline Evangeline, Evangeline I can feel it now, I can 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
