Lyrics

[00:18.75] Evelyn sits by the elevator doors
[00:21.75] It's been 37 years since James died
[00:25.52] On St. Patrick's Day in 1964
[00:29.97] She could not hold it against him
[00:33.76] There were times when there was nothing she could do
[00:37.20] But lie in bed all day
[00:39.79] Beside a picture of them together
[00:44.38] A picture of better days
[00:46.07]
[00:48.86] And just like James, I'll be drinking Irish tonight
[00:52.27] And the memory of his last work week
[00:55.11] Will be gone forever
[00:56.70] Evelyn, I'm not coming home tonight
[01:03.83] If we're never together
[01:05.62] If I'm never back again
[01:07.51] Well, I swear to God that I'll love you forever
[01:11.51] Evelyn, I'm not coming home tonight
[01:15.36]
[01:22.28] In all the years that went by
[01:25.03] She said she'd always love him
[01:29.06] And from the day that he died
[01:32.05] She never loved again
[01:35.65] And in his wallet she kept on her nightstand
[01:39.89] An AA card and a lock of red hair
[01:43.37] Kept secrets of pride locked so tight in her heart
[01:47.08] It killed a part of her before the rest was gone
[01:50.46]
[01:51.56] She said "If I would have known
[01:53.51] Just how things would have ended up
[01:55.51] I just would have let myself die"
[02:01.95] And just like James, I'm drinking Irish tonight
[02:05.09] And the memory of his last work week
[02:07.69] Will be gone forever
[02:10.08] Evelyn, I'm not coming home tonight
[02:16.87] If we're never together
[02:18.16] If I'm never back again
[02:20.16] Well, I swear to God that I'll love you forever
[02:23.90] Evelyn, I'm not coming home tonight
