Eileen (Album Version)

Eileen (Album Version) - Keb' Mo'

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

Eileen

She never cared for me

Whatever happened

Eileen
