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 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 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 run 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 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 to me Evangeline The sky is blue Your eyes are too But they don't see
