Evelyn sits by the elevator doors.
It`s been 37 years since James dies on St. Patrick`s Day in 1964,
but she could not hold it against him.
There were times when there was nothing she could do 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 week wil 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 went by she said she`d always love 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 a lock of red hair.
She kept secrets of pride locked so tight in her heart
it 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 myself die."
And just like James, I`ll be drinking Irish tonight
and the memory of his last work week wil 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...
