| Went out walking I recall
|
| Me and my best girl along the wall
|
| In the long grass side by side
|
| Where the big ships go gliding by, go gliding by
|
| Skylark singing in the sun
|
| Something told me she’s the one
|
| When I looked down into her eyes
|
| I saw pictures of paradise… of paradise… of paradise
|
| Every night you look so mean
|
| Staring at your TV screen
|
| Back when we where seventeen
|
| You turned me around Irene, Irene
|
| When the days got colder time went by
|
| Dark cloud rising into the sky
|
| I just sat there gazing on
|
| Like a tower of Babylon… of Babylon
|
| I went wandering far from home
|
| Left my good girl all on her own
|
| I went back there she got the power
|
| See me through my darkest hour… my darkest hour… my darkest hour
|
| Every night you look so mean
|
| Staring at your TV screen
|
| I got lost inside a dream
|
| You brought me back Irene, Irene
|
| People talking but they don’t know
|
| Where I’ve been to or where I’ll go
|
| World keep turning all things change
|
| I love two girls I ain’t ashamed… I ain’t ashamed
|
| All your loving it thrills me so
|
| I can’t go with you I just can’t go
|
| A thousand highways you don’t live twice
|
| Only one road to paradise… to paradise… to paradise
|
| Every night you look so mean
|
| Staring at your TV screen
|
| Thinkin' about what might have been
|
| I’ll love you still Irene, Irene |
