Evangeline Lyrics by Turnpike Troubadours

Diamonds & Gasoline

2010

[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

[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
