Collection of Irish Song Lyrics
Living Next Door to Alice
Copyright: 1976
SALLY CALLED, JUST GOT THE WORD
SHE SAID, I SUPPOSE YOU HEARD ´BOUT ALICE
WELL I RUSHED TO THE WINDOW AND I LOOKED OUTSIDE
AND I COULD HARDLY BELIEVE MY EYES
IT´S A BIG LIMOSINE MOVED UP INTO ALICE´S DRIVE
CHORUS
OH I DON´T KNOW WHY SHE´S LEAVING
OR SHE´S GONNA GO
I GUESS SHE´S GOT REASONS
BUT I JUST DON´T WANT TO KNOW
CAUSE FOR 24 YEARS I´VE BEEN LIVING NEXT DOOR TO ALICE
24 YEARS JUST WAITING FOR A CHANCE
TO TELL HER HOW I FEEL IT
AND MAYBE GET A SECOND CHANCE
NOW I GOT TO GET USED TO NOT LIVING NEXT DOOR TO ALICE
GREW UP TOGETHER, TWO KIDS IN THE PARK
CARVED OUR INITIALS DEEP IN THE BARK ME´N AND ALICE
NOW SHE WALKS THROUGH THE DOOR
WITH HER HEAD HELD HIGH
AND JUST FOR A MOMENT I CAUGHT HER EYE
AS THE BIG LIMOSINE PULLED SLOWLY
OUT OF ALICE´S DRIVE
CHORUS
AND SALLY CALLED BACK, AND ASKED HOW I FELT
SHE SAID, I KNOW, HOW TO HELP GET OVER ALICE
SHE SAID: NOW ALICE IS GONE,
BUT I´M STILL HERE
YOU KNOW I´VE BEEN WAITING FOR 24 YEARS
THAN THE BIG LIMOSINE DISAPEARED
