Eleanor McEvoy – South Anne Street

Eleanor McEvoy – South Anne Street Lyrics

Artist: Eleanor McEvoy
Song: South Anne Street

Well I almost didn’t know him
I nearly passed him by
It took us both a moment
To get over our surprise

And we hugged each other clumsily
And laughed a bit too long
As the shoppers on South Anne Street hurried on
I said I’d heard that he was married

And living overseas
He said he’d seen my posters
On a billboard near his street
And he’d heard about what happened

And we both just looked away
And headed from South Anne Street to McDaid’s
Where we drank for ancient love for hours an end
Raised our glasses to remember absent friends

And we drank to chance encounters too long overdue
On South Anne Street on a Tuesday afternoon
And it felt just like it used to
Like we’ve never been apart

Like back when we were students
On a bench in College Park
And I felt something deep inside me
I really can’t explain

In a pub beside South Anne Street in the rain
And we drank for ancient love for hours an end
Raised our glasses to remember absent friends
And we drank to chance encounters too long overdue

On South Anne Street on a Tuesday afternoon
We embraced before we parted
To walk into the night
With a complicated sadness

At this complicated life
Oh, ships passing in the night
Occasionally meet
At the corner of South Anne and Grafton Street

And we drank for ancient love for hours an end
Raised our glasses to remember absent friends
And we drank to chance encounters too long overdue
On South Anne Street on a Tuesday afternoon

And we drank for ancient love for hours an end
Raised our glasses to remember absent friends
Oh and sometimes if I’m lonely and I’m walking on my own
I’ll detour down South Anne Street going home
