Standing out on track nine in her black coat
Still amongst the motion like a statue's solid pose
Eveline with eyes ahead waited for her train
A ticket in her hand and a key to all the chains
Eveline, keep your fear in check
There's no use in your crying about what's in the past
And Eveline, keep your eyes ahead
Remember what he said to you, you know it's true
Turning up her collar against the pouring rain
In her ears her father's words still ring
"You're dead to me me daughter for what you have done"
And now your last option is yout only one
But Eveline, you know he treats you bad
And what's left for you to find, in simple family life
And remember your mother's last curse
Remember what, he did to her
And you are not doomed to die
Cursing fate for the cards it dealt your life
Eveline, Eveline, leave him behind
The train rolled silenced by the thunder in the sky
The doors opened, Eveline had nothing in her eyes
The sailor smiled and beckoned her
Then stopped and called her name
As Eveline, she turned her back
And just walked away
