Oh Evangeline, you've been gone so long And for a time it seemed every road you took turned wrong But a second chance would come with each new bridge you burned I know you squandered some but then from some you learned
And the point of rescue, well, you passed that long ago Oh, but to hear you tell it was just another part of the show Oh Evangeline, your faith shone blind and true We raise our glass and sing of you, Evangeline
Evangeline, Evangeline Evangeline, Evangeline
Oh Evangeline, you with no kith or kin The nights so hard and mean, you shed like them a skin For you were always strong when the bad slid down to worse You still had that song, it was your blessing and your curse
But in your tongue there is no word for home There'll be no one to roll away the stone Oh Evangeline, you have been a prisoner here Bread and roses we shall bring to you, Evangeline
Oh Evangeline, what are you fighting for? You stayed out in that ring when nobody's even keepin' score But round by round you earned, your stumble into grace Still with every turn the world becomes a sadder place
It swallows up the ones you have loved the most So you sleep with none and you wake with ghosts Oh Evangeline, you have salted with your tears Every lonely mile you've seen through the years, Evangeline
And it's a fatal shore you now wash upon So weary of the war and no longer young Oh Evangeline, your voice risin' sweet and clear We close our eyes and dream of you, Evangeline
