eddie said the beat was wrong

tom didn't like the tune

the boy with a beard in the corner

laughed in the middle of a song

he didn't stay very long



eddie said the lights were low

tom said the treble was high

the boy with a beard in the corner

laughed in the middle of a sigh

don't think we ever even caught his eye



sometimes i used to find 

i'd be singing to you

as if you were sitting 

at the table by the door



eddie said a friend of his

is making it big in l.a. 

ah well everybody down at malachy's 

says i'm gonna make it someday



sometimes i used to write 

a song for you

as if you were sitting 

at the table by the door



sometimes i used to find 

i'd be singing to you

as if you were sitting 

at the table by the door
