Caitlin Jemma - Evangeline

Back from the windy seas and I've still got my sails
tattered and torn as they may be
Into the great expanse of my mind
wandering and fleeting as it may seem

This is for you my Evangeline,
somewhere down in Louisian'
with your eyes closed under still water
longing for your ghost of a man

Years ago when we lived on that farm
in the everlasting sun
in the summer time with the dragonflies
I saw you as the woman you are

Why when I go, do you stay?
Why when I stay, do you go?
Back from the windy seas
from the ebb and flow
still love Evangeline

As I lay ‘neath the moonlight
inside the arms of an oak tree
tomorrow's promise of you
is a blue mist washing over me

If I stand alone in the autumn winds
will snow fall light on the lowlands?
If winter's only a hollow cold
I'll hold you with spring in my hands

Why when I go, do you stay?
Why when I stay, do you go?
Back from the windy seas
from the ebb and flow
still love Evangeline
