lyrics

Evangeline how your heart beats still
I can barely wager a guess
I remember the mission bells
I remember your cotton dress

I laid you in your prairie grave
dug for you neath six feet o' grass
I remember your footsteps soft
At night I still hear them shuffling past

We married young in a carousel
I rode an elephant down the aisle
A circus tent in Jerusalem
On an alligators back we crossed the Nile

You placed a gold chain round my neck
And sealed it there with a whispered kiss
Lashed to the mast like the Hesperus wreck
There are some things I will always miss

We waltzed through all the fancy doors flung open
Melted before us like paraffin wax
We traversed the whole wide world
Carrying nothing by weightless hope on our backs

No we've returned to our prairie home
And I have passed through the final door
It's locked to me for a few more years
when I'll meet you on that heavenly shore
