[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
