In the middle of her confession
He comes over and pulls her hair
I wake up, she is crying
I guess he was here again
Evie's tears are never gonna dry
Evie's secret tears burn this bed
She comes to only when it's light
We met in a lonely summer
Two survivors of paradise
She ran off when I first touched her
Now she wakes me every night
Evie's tears are never gonna dry
Evie's secret tears burn this bed
She comes to only when it's light
Faithless girl, you've been dreaming
Staring up, your face is white with fear
OK, now I'm listening
You're not mine, and he's not here
(solo)
Now I'm listening
You're not mine, and he's not here
In the middle of Evie's garden
In a simple iron chair
Wind's blowing and she is singing
Begs the moon to disappear
Evie's tears are never gonna dry
Evie's guilty tears burn this bed
She comes to only when it's light
...tears, Evie's tears,
Evie's tears burn this bed
She comes to only when it's light
Catholic girl, you've been dreaming
Staring up, your face is white with fear
Ok, now I'm listening
You're not mine, and he's not here
