作词 : Harris 作曲 : Harris O Evangeline you 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 O Evangeline your faith shone blind and true We raise our glass and sing Of you Evangeline. O 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 O Evangeline you have been a prisoner here Bread and roses we shall bring To you Evangeline O 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 lost the most So you sleep with none You wake up with ghosts O Evangeline you have salted with your tears Every lonely mile you've seen Through the years Evangeline. It's a fatal shore You now wash upon So weary of the war And longer young O Evangeline your voice Risin' sweet and clear We close our eyes and dream Of you Evangeline...
