Evelyne

a love song

Good morning, Fellow Humans,

It’s Earth Day and because it is, I’ve been looking forward to sharing a new song of mine called “Evelyne.” When I started writing it a couple of years ago, I thought I was writing to the Earth, apologizing for the neglect we humans have subjected her to, but while I was working on it, I kept singing the name Evelyne over and over again. When lyrics won’t go away, I have to figure out why. Eventually, I asked myself: what if Earth is singing to us and what if she calls us Evelyne.

You can watch and listen here (lyrics below):

Or you can listen to the song here:

Evelyne

When you and I began I was still in bloom
But your longing grew and wandered off with you

Evelyne, come back to me 
When the winter moon fades away and turns to morning dew
My ingenue, I’ll still be here for you

Evelyne, come back for me
Let’s start again
Don’t let our story end

Remember me when I was whole
When all your dreams were mine to hold for you, Evelyne

You and I were always meant to be
Can’t you see?
Your home is here with me

Evelyne, come back to me and live
Evelyne, Evelyne
