'Evangeline' by Doug Stalnaker - Video
PUBLISHED:  Oct 27, 2015
DESCRIPTION:
Spying the Gates of Eden
Through the eye of a needle
Waiting for the answer
To prayers a thousand times spoken
Laid away is the pleasure
Until I pay in full through all my pain
More things in heaven and earth...

Inside is out
Upside is down
All the world isn't what it seems
Late in my life
My angel arrived
Her silver spurs made of stars
Her golden braids of morning's light

Reason felled by a notion
Circles turn without motion
Waiting for the answer
To dreams her love has awoken
Waiting there is my treasure
And yet the silver chord of life detains
More things in heaven and earth...

Wisdom wed to its sorrow
For each the other will follow
Waiting for the answer
Stranded for want of a token
Giving to my very last measure
To prove our mortal lives were not in vain
More things in heaven and earth...
