[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 glass 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 grass 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
