The Ballad of Evangeline
It was late December, I remember the scene, the night my heart fell when you showed me your ring… 💍
A lonely rebel was I, walkin’ down roads
My head in the sky, my feet in the cold.
A silly teenage boy, dreamin’ of love
And you were the fire I couldn’t let go of
We were 21, when I met you again
We had had our fun, as childhood friends.
It was late December, I remember the scene,
The night my heart fell when you showed me your ring…
Oh Evangeline, where did you go?
When you came to me, and left in the snow?
Oh Evangeline, you’re makin’ me blue
Oh why, why can’t I find you?
The sun still rose, showin’ promise of spring
My heart left frozen to the core of my being.
And from my window, I could feel the cold sting,
From off in the distance, the sound of the wedding bells singing…
Evangeline, where did we go wrong?
All in between our broken love songs?
Oh Evangeline, you’re making me blue
Oh why, why can’t I find you?
And then there came that fateful night
You came to me in such a fright
I looked at you and I don’t know why
You covered up as you told me your lies
But all of the bruises on your thighs
Paled in comparison to the fear that was in your eyes
I yelled get the fuck out of there before you die
But you just ran out on me for the last time…
Evangeline, where did you go?
When you came to me, and left in the snow?
Oh Evangeline, you’re makin’ me blue
Oh why, why can’t I find?
Evangeline, why can’t I find?
Evangeline, why can’t I find?
Evangeline,
Why can’t I find?
Evangeline, where did you go?
When you came to me, and left in the snow?
Oh Evangeline, you’re makin’ me blue
Oh why, why can’t I find you?
