Louder Than the Sound (The Band - 'Evangeline')
Well I stood on a cliff
looking over the river.
I asked that ship sinking just like a sun
You could hear the silence and thunder
Louder than the sound
And I felt myself losing my mind as I watched
The man that I love, slowly drown
Oh the wild Mississippi
Muddy and mean.
Well the heart that you took,
It was wild, it was mine.
When it cast the dice at the tables
His blood, it would sing
And it told me that he'd win a hand
He'd save some of it to buy me a ring
Oh I curse you with all the fire in my blood
Yeah I curse you standing here,
In lightning, and rain
You could hear the silence and thunder
Louder than the sound
And I felt myself losing my mind as I watched
The man that I love, slowly drown
looking over the river.
I asked that ship sinking just like a sun
You could hear the silence and thunder
Louder than the sound
And I felt myself losing my mind as I watched
The man that I love, slowly drown
Oh the wild Mississippi
Muddy and mean.
Well the heart that you took,
It was wild, it was mine.
When it cast the dice at the tables
His blood, it would sing
And it told me that he'd win a hand
He'd save some of it to buy me a ring
Oh I curse you with all the fire in my blood
Yeah I curse you standing here,
In lightning, and rain
You could hear the silence and thunder
Louder than the sound
And I felt myself losing my mind as I watched
The man that I love, slowly drown
