Evangeline is probably in my Top 3 songs.
It means bringer of good news btw which is important in understanding the word play.
Staring into the abyss
The clouds so grey, I wish
There were no limits to life
Just a matter of time
'Til we recognise demise
Fading into the skies
But was I really worth it?
Treating me like your puppet
Did I ever deserve this?
Sucked dry, I'm so exhausted
Full of despair, the cold air
Whispering in my ear
Oh, I knew it was coming
But never thought so soon
And I didn't think this through
When I kept loving you
Sometimes I wanna decide
How I should say goodbye
Instead of it torn away
I wanna live in vain
Evangeline, you promised me
Happy memories for eternity
Evangeline, you left the scene
When I needed you most, Evangeline
Our time is up, ashes to dust
Evangeline, you just gave up on me
It's not the same without you here
Evangeline
Just play 1 more record
2 keep us elated
We're wide awake under starlight
It's 3 in the morning
I'm 4 drinks past wasted
But you'll get me through the night
