"77A" lyrics

"77A"

I was heading home for the weekend but I missed the evening train
Stranded and left standing outside Connolly in the rain
I called my old friend Tommy, "have you room for me to stay?"
He said, "make your way to Greenhills, get the 77A"
I paid my fare and went upstairs and grabbed the last seat left
It wasn't that she stole my heart but pure and downright theft
For sat beside me was a vision I had never known
She didn't notice me, her head was buried in her phone

Well, I'm no scholar but it's not every day
You see an angel upstairs on the 77A
Well, I'm no saint but I knew right away
I died and gone to heaven on the 77A
I died and gone to heaven on the 77A

I tried a little small talk, asked her where she'd been
She said she'd been to feed the ducks suburban Stephen's Green
But I wasn't even listening, I was deep inside a trance
Trying to figure out how I could take her to the dance

Well, I'm no scholar but it's not every day
You see an angel upstairs on the 77A
Well, I'm no saint but I knew right away
I died and gone to heaven on the 77A

"Oh hey, and just get on with it if you're going to ask me out!"
She said, "I'll have a vino and you'll have a pint of stout"
We ran downstairs, jumped off at Camden Street
For sure, a nicer girl you'd never meet

The times since then have come and gone, and I've seen a lot of life
15 years ago I made that lovely girl me wife
We started a tradition that we've kept until this day
Once a week I'll meet her on the 77A

Well, I'm no scholar but it's not every day
You see an angel upstairs on the 77A
Well, I'm no saint but I knew right away
I died and gone to heaven on the 77A

Well, I'm no scholar but it's not every day
You see an angel upstairs on the 77A
Well, I'm no saint but I knew right away
I died and gone to heaven on the 77A
I died and gone to heaven on the 77A
