Eileen

It was late one friday night I was out with a few of the boys We were talkin' loud, havin' ourselves a real good time That's when I first saw Eileen, way down at the end of the bar She was sittin' all alone havin' herself a real good cry So I went over with my rum and coke Sat down beside her and I told her one of my jokes And through the tears she started laughin' So we introduced ourselves and we talked just a little bit more But before too long we were headin' towards the door She led the way, I was close behind, she turned and reached for my hand Like a stranger I had known before We got on the subway train and we, rode all night Sweet, sweet goodbye kisses in the mornin' light And we were burnin' with desire When I called her on the phone, there would be nobody home And I never saw Eileen again I remember everythin' that she told me But why she had to go and disappear Some time later I was out with a few of the boys We were talkin' loud havin' ourselves a real good time Then came the question: whatever happened to that girl at the end of the bar Who was sittin' all alone havin' herself a real good cry We went ridin' on the subway train Sweet Eileen was her name I never got to know her the way I really wanted to I thought we were connecting, I guess I never really got through When I called her on the phone, there would be nobody home And I never, saw Eileen again And when I ride the evening train The memories remain Ooh and I never saw Eileen again Never saw Eileen again Never saw Eileen again Eileen, sweet Eileen... She never cared for me, whatever happened Eileen
