There's a silver stream
Laid across the sky
And the city lives
Up its arms to end
As I wait for you
Evangeline
Yes, my eyes have seen
Your unselfishness
And my fingers touched
Your two sleeping lips
As the echoes passed
Just above our heads
As the city flashed
Just beneath the cloud
That concealed the stars
And reflected sound
That protected us
From an emptiness
And then drifted down
In a diamond mist
As I watched you breathe
As I watched you dream
Evangeline
(x8)
And a tenderness
And your innocence
You were following
With your secret bliss
You were following
With your perfect god
You were following
And I sighed a long feel
(?)
When my fingertips
Traced your naked skin
While the gentle flame
Kissed your hollow lung
(?)
Evangline
Like an acid stream
Evangeline
Like a shinin' vein
Evangeline
With your moonlight sheen
Evangeline
With your open gaze
Evangeline
With your still dark dreams
Evangeline
(x8)
I can feel it now
I'm feeling now
Feel it now
(x8)
Then it's gone
