《O Evangeline》歌词

[00:00:00] O Evangeline - Emmylou Harris

[00:00:38] O Evangeline you been gone

[00:00:43] So long

[00:00:45] And for a time it seemed

[00:00:48] Every road you took turned wrong

[00:00:52] But a second chance would come

[00:00:55] With each new bridge you burned

[00:00:58] I know you squandered some

[00:01:02] But then from some you learned

[00:01:05] And the point of rescue well

[00:01:09] You passed that long ago

[00:01:13] O but to hear you teil it was

[00:01:16] Just another part of the show

[00:01:20] O Evangeline your faith shone

[00:01:24] Blind and true

[00:01:26] We raise our glass and sing

[00:01:30] Of you Evangeline

[00:01:47] O Evangeline you with

[00:01:51] No kith or kin

[00:01:54] The nights so hard and mean

[00:01:57] You shed them like a skin

[00:02:00] For you were always strong

[00:02:04] When the bad slid down

[00:02:06] To worse

[00:02:08] You still had that song

[00:02:10] It was your blessing

[00:02:12] And your curse

[00:02:15] But in your tongue

[00:02:18] There is no word for home

[00:02:22] There'll be no one

[00:02:25] To roll away the stone

[00:02:28] O Evangeline you have been

[00:02:32] A prisoner here

[00:02:35] Bread and roses we shall bring

[00:02:38] To you Evangeline

[00:03:13] O Evangeline what are you

[00:03:17] Fighting for

[00:03:19] You stayed out in that ring

[00:03:22] When nobody's even keeping score

[00:03:26] But round by round you earned

[00:03:29] Your stumble into grace

[00:03:33] Still with every turn the world

[00:03:37] Becomes a sadder place

[00:03:40] It swallows up the ones

[00:03:44] You have loved the most

[00:03:47] So you sleep with none

[00:03:51] And you wake with ghosts

[00:03:54] O Evangeline

[00:03:57] You have salted with your tears

[00:04:00] Every lonely mile you've seen

[00:04:04] Through the years Evangeline

[00:04:25] It's a fatal shore

[00:04:28] You now wash upon

[00:04:31] So weary of the war

[00:04:36] And no longer young

[00:04:39] O Evangeline your voice

[00:04:42] Rising sweet and clear

[00:04:45] We close our eyes and dream

[00:04:49] Of you Evangeline
