lifeblood: songs: lyrics: malachy's

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
