lyrics

Evelyn sits by the elevator doors/
It's been 37 years since James died 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 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 went by/
She said she'd always love him/
And from the day that he died/
She never loved again/
And in his wallet she kept in her nightstand/
An AA 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 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/
