[Verse 1]
You stood slow, is the way I remember you being
The summer slough, innocent love
Growing hard and strong, and teething
So when the sky grew dark, like an old gla** jar
Black dye in the water, as a circle spun
We were the lucky ones
[Chorus]
When the thunder rolls
You showed me what a love could bring
When the cold wind blows
Discovered what a love could mean
When the darkness holds, Oh my sweet Evangeline
You were the wild eyes shining
[Verse 2]
Shiver cold, at the wind and the waterside meeting
When summer goes
Do you wave her farewell then sigh towards home, when you can't keep it
So when the gra** bent down, under the loudest sound
Of dead silence surrounding, and what was to come
We were the lucky ones
[Chorus]
When the thunder rolls
You showed me what a love could bring
When the cold wind blows
Discovered what a love could mean
When the darkness holds, Oh my sweet Evangeline
You were the wild eyes shining
