Indigo Girls - malachy's lyrics

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
