Cântăre Evangeline

Evangeline



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



CHORUS:

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 fear

A necklace of thorns watered by your tears

Even now one hope remains

One Holy Fire to quench the rain

I pray that you heart will be warmed by the dawn

And these shadows will be gone



(REPEAT CHORUS)



A devil has entered your house

He devours your days

But his spell will be broken

If you turn from his gaze

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 ware

I wish I could turn this terrible tide

And call the angels to your side



(REPEAT CHORUS)
