Lyrics | [Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus 1] So beautiful that words cannot define Sweeter than the Lord's communion wine [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus 2] And the oldest violin could never whine A melody as sorrowful as mine [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 You might also like[Pre-Chorus 3] Now your words, they cut right through me like a knife Well I gave my love and now I take my life [Chorus] 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 |
