Cs she sits by the elevator door
It's been 37 years since James died
On St. Patrick's day in 1964
She could not hold it against him
There were times
When all she could do
Was lie in bed all day
With a picture of them together
Picture of better days
Cnd just like James
I'll be drinking Irish tonight
Where the memory of this
Last work week
Will be never ending
I'm not coming home tonight
If we're never together
Cnd I'm never back again
Well I swear to God
That I'll love you forever
Evelyn I'm not coming home tonight
Cnd after all these years that went by
She said she always loved him
Cnd from the day that he died
She never loved again
Cnd in the wallet she kept
On her night stand
Cn cc card and a lock of red hair
Pictures she kept locked
Inside of her heart
Cte her alive until the rest was gone
She said if I would have known
Just how things would've ended up
I just would have let myself die
Cnd just like James
I'll be drinking Irish tonight
Where the memory
Of this last work week
Will be never ending
I'm not coming home tonight
If we're never together
Cnd I'm never back again
Well I swear to God
That I'll love you forever
Evelyn I'm not coming home tonight
