"Malachy's" lyrics - MAGGIE & TERRE ROCHE

MAGGIE & TERRE ROCHE
"Malachy's"
(Margaret Roche)

Eddie said the beat was wrong
Tom didn't like the tune
The boy with the beard in the corner
Laughed in the middle of the song
He didn't stay very long

Eddie said the lights were low
Tom said the treble was high
The boy with the 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 singin' to you
As if you were sittin' at the table by the door

Eddie says a friend of his is
Makin' it big in L.A
Yeah, well everybody down at Malachy's
Says were gonna make it someday
Hey hey

Sometimes I used to write songs for you
As if you could feel it in the bottom of your heart

Sometimes I used to find I'd be singin' to you
As if you were sittin' at the table by the door
