Letra da Música Eveline de Cathie Ryan

It's early Sunday morning, her father's fast asleep
She's staring out the window at the dark and lonely street
Put the kettle on the fire, wake the children up for mass
His drunken cursing last night means another week has passed
The next will be the same

It's all right, Eveline, let the ship sail away
Hold onto the railing and cry
It won't be the last one, I promise you that
He's only telling you lies
He's only telling you lies

Where is you sailor, Evy? Are you killed with regret?
Didn't he know your heart then? Did he make you forget
That you have always seen yourself in your father's bitter eyes?
Your mother willed her life to you long before she died
Her madness calls your name

It's all right, Eveline, let the ship sail away
Hold onto the railing and cry
It won't be the last one, I promise you that
They're only telling you lies
They're only telling you lies

Deravaun seraun, deravaun seraun
Take her hand, take her life
Take her hand, take her life
Deravaun seraun, deravaun seraun Eveline

I knew you were no fiction when he left you on the shore
Living out the legacy, the guilt of wanting more
Waiting for a ship to come, praying for strength to leap
Those leaps are terrifying, the small steps make us free
The small steps make us free

It's all right, Eveline, let the ship sail away
Hold onto the railing and cry
It won't be the last one, I promise you that
They're only telling you lies
They're only telling you lies

They're only telling you lies
