I, I come from the manor
Up on the hilltop by the bay,
You, you went to the desert
The windswept sands of time
blew you away
In another place
In another time
The shadow on your face
is surely mine
She's not in a hurry
to put the grape back on the vine
She's unextraordinary
Evangeline
Maybe tomorrow
the sun will shine
in all this sorrow
Evangeline
I've held the weapon
and I've held the wound
Now we're steppin'
Out on the moon
In another place
In another time
The shadow on your face
is surely mine
She's not in a hurry
to put the grape back on the vine
She's unextraordinary
Evangeline
Put an LP on
All those days are gone
All those days are gone
I've come from the outer banks
where I've stayed too long
All the pilgrims are giving thanks
They've assembled on your lawn
Paradise is calling
Calling out to you
See the stars
They're falling
Falling down on you
In another place
In another time
The shadow on your face
is surely mine
She's not in a hurry
to put the grape back on the vine
She's unextraordinary
Evangeline
