Behind you, there's nothing no past to speak of   As if you could speak anyway   Your cheeks are aglow with the summers you promised   And the springs that you gave away      A leg up a pick up, in a time of no words   The stories your face could inspire   Slow as at seems how quickly we die with our dreams   But you live forever      Evangeline   Evangeline   Evangeline      Your ultramarine   Your crimson and Green   All speak to me like sweet rain on paper      Evangeline, Evangeline      The moon up and rises and shows you the way   While the sunshine turns you away   You buy futures in heaven and you wait by the door   There will always be less and there will always be      Would you speak of the ugly and all of the pain   Of flowers that bloom in the absence of rain   the prisons we build with the words that we love   How we spend it all and it's never enough      The birds are still singing outside your front door   They say this is the way it should be   But the men are still fighting their unholy war   For some reason too hard to believe      There are those who show mercy and those who show might   There are those who would rather sleep than do right   But somehow it just doesn't seem right   That you're the one to bleed   Evangeline
