Sitting on the banks of the Bayou Têche With grass stains on my party dress I've been out all night, painting the town Lost in the shuffle of the weekend crowd But that spell wears off with the fading moon Morning will be breaking soon on the bayou
You brought me here on a warm June night And in the flicker of the stars and the fireflies We spent hours I could never forget So now instead of home, sleeping in my bed I'm sitting in the grass in the morning dew Wishing I was here with you On the bayou, oh, on the bayou
Oh Evangeline, tell me what you know I'm sitting underneath that old live oak Wondering if the things they say are true
And if that star up in the sky Really is a kindly light I pray that it will shine down on me too And guide me on my way back to you
If I'd known then what I know now I would have turned the car around And told you all the thoughts that were in my head Freed the ghosts of my old regrets And maybe right now, I'd be by your side Instead of sitting here with my foolish pride On the bayou, oh, on the bayou
Oh Evangeline, tell me what you know I'm sitting underneath that old live oak Wondering if the things they say are true
And if that star up in the sky Really is a kindly light I pray that it will shine down on me too And guide me on my way back to you
Where the crickets and the owls and the bullfrogs sing In the silhouette of the cypress trees Not a worry in the world weighing on their minds Just singing their songs, living their lives And if life was so simple for people too I wouldn't be sitting here missing you On the bayou, on the bayou
Oh Evangeline, tell me what you know I'm sitting underneath that old live oak Wondering if the things they say are true
And if that star up in the sky Really is a kindly light, I pray that it will shine down on me too And guide me on my way back to youTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
