I can touch you, but I can't reach you,
I can love you, but I can't save you,
Crushed beneath some unseen weight, locked behind some prison gate,
I pound on these walls with my bleeding hands, and long to pull you from sinking sand.
Evangeline, come back to me,
Come back to me, come back to me,
Evangeline, the sky is blue; your eyes are too, but they don't see.
Link by link grows the chain of fears: a necklace of thorns, watered by your tears,
Even now one hope remains: one holy fire to quench the rain,
I pray that your heart will be warmed by the dawn, and these shadows will be gone.
Evangeline, come back to me,
Come back to me, come back to me,
Evangeline, the sky is blue; your eyes are too, but they don't see.
A devil has entered your house,
He devours your days, but his spell will be broken if you turn from his gaze.
Oh, Evangeline, Evangeline.
Is my voice growing faint in the gathering haze?
Has your path been obscured in this dark, twisting maze?
We all bare the crimson scar, but that's not all of what you are,
I wish I could turn this terrible tide, and call the angels to your side.
Evangeline, come back to me,
Come back to me, come back,
Evangeline, the sky is blue; your eyes are too, but they don't see.
