Evelyn
Maybe you saw her, a flag in her hand
Maybe you remembered a smile
And everyone knew it would end up like this
But I thought they called her Evelyn
At the end of your street, there's a house you drive past
Thursdays and Sunday afternoons
You stand in your doorway, the lights going round
Oh did you see it, Evelyn
So I'll hide the whiskey, you'll read the words
We'll sing till we make it feel new
The birds left on Friday now you're leaving too
You're leaving too
We saw her out walking the side of the road
Fistfulls of roses and gin
And nobody wondered how she would get home
Cause they never knew you Evelyn
So I'll hide the whiskey, you'll read the words
We'll sing till we make it feel new
The birds left on Friday now you're leaving too
You're leaving too
You're leaving too
Was that you waving, the back of your car
Curly hair, your shiny black shoes
You sold your true love for a five dollar bill
I hope you'll be coming home soon
I hope you'll be coming home soon
I hope you'll be coming home soon
So I'll hide the whiskey, you'll read the words
We'll sing till we make it feel new
The birds left on Friday
Now you're leaving too
You're leaving too
You're leaving too
Cause you're gonna leave me Evelyn
Maybe you remembered a smile
And everyone knew it would end up like this
But I thought they called her Evelyn
At the end of your street, there's a house you drive past
Thursdays and Sunday afternoons
You stand in your doorway, the lights going round
Oh did you see it, Evelyn
So I'll hide the whiskey, you'll read the words
We'll sing till we make it feel new
The birds left on Friday now you're leaving too
You're leaving too
We saw her out walking the side of the road
Fistfulls of roses and gin
And nobody wondered how she would get home
Cause they never knew you Evelyn
So I'll hide the whiskey, you'll read the words
We'll sing till we make it feel new
The birds left on Friday now you're leaving too
You're leaving too
You're leaving too
Was that you waving, the back of your car
Curly hair, your shiny black shoes
You sold your true love for a five dollar bill
I hope you'll be coming home soon
I hope you'll be coming home soon
I hope you'll be coming home soon
So I'll hide the whiskey, you'll read the words
We'll sing till we make it feel new
The birds left on Friday
Now you're leaving too
You're leaving too
You're leaving too
Cause you're gonna leave me Evelyn
