Irish Goodbye

He was nervous He didn't dance But in her case He'd take the chance So he took her hands like two violets Brought it in for a landing like a jet pilot 'Cause one minute he was lost in her eyes And the next minute she said an Irish goodbye He's wandering the room Looking for his coat Wondering if she Stepped out for a smoke But she was headed downtown to a different club She was looking for fun, she wasn't looking for love 'Cause she knew he was lost in her eyes So she knew she would have to say an Irish goodbye So he closed his tab and stepped into the alley Called a cab and sunk into reality "Was it something I said?" He wondered inside "'Cause all that I get are Irish goodbyes" Aye, aye
