Evelyn sits by the elevators doors

It’s been 37 years since James dies on St. Patrick’s Day in 1946

But she could not hold It against him

There were times when there was nothing

She could but lie in bed all day beside

A picture of them together

A picture of better days

And just like James, I’ll be drinking Irish tonight

And the memory of his last work weak will be gone forever

Evelyn I’m not coming home tonight

If we’re never together

If I’m never back again

Well I swear to God that I’ll love you forever

Evelyn I’m not coming home tonight…

In all the years that when by the said she’d always loved him

And from the day that he died she never loved again

In his wallet she kept in her nightstand an A.A card and lock of red hair

She kept secret of pride locked so tight in her heart

I killed a part of her before the rest was gone

She said,

“If I would have known just how things would have ended up I just would have let my self die”

And just like James, I’ll be drinking Irish tonight

And the memory of his last work weak will be gone forever

Evelyn I’m not coming home tonight

If we’re never together

If I’m never back again

Well I swear to God that I’ll love you forever

Evelyn I’m not coming home tonight…
