Lyrics Turnpike Troubadours – Evangeline

Looking back well I see you
with eyes that shouldn’t be so blue
Clearer than the calm before the rain
I saw a light that wasn’t there

Evangeline can’t you see I’m sorry
Can’t you hear my tears ringing through the night
Waiting in hell between these bed sheets
Pray to god for morning light

Then winter came and blood ran cold
the ever present sleet and snow
outside a December window pane
this house will never, be our home
hand in hand, we walked alone
I thought the sun would never shine again
Then the oldest violin can never whine
A melody as sorrowful as mine…

Evangeline can’t you see I’m sorry
Can’t you hear my tears ringing through the night
Waiting in hell between these bed sheets
Pray to god for morning light

Now I’ve seen your face a thousand times,
have nightmares running through my mind & it hurts,
Just to pretend
But the devil failed and so have I
From perfect grace you faced the sky
I never thought a love like this would end

Evangeline can’t you see I’m sorry
Can’t you hear my tears ringing through the night
Waiting in hell between these bed sheets
Pray to god for morning light

Waiting in hell between these bed sheets
Pray to God for morning light
