Evangeline
Gary Lucas
Now trust in her, you must endure
The seasons ever-changin'
Face the frost, the hollow cost
Of lives spent rearrangin'
Evening bells and wishin' well
The one who won't need namin'
Evangeline comes claimin'
I can see her fair face sure
As you can spy the sparrow
Swiftly now, she turns and bows
And flies straight as the arrow
Dusky dells and private hells
Evangeline discernin'
Brings forth her gentle rainin'
Evangeline
Evangeline
Now leaves do fall, and through it all
She constantly keeps burnin'
Within her gaze, the sun's own rays
Now keeps my head from turnin'
When you think you know it all
Evangeline discernin'
Brings forth her gentle learnin'
Evangeline comes claimin'
Brings forth her gentle rainin'
Evangeline
Evangeline
