lyrics

Irene
by Shane Cooley

We were poets in our own right
But we didn't have a chance
Who am I to call ourselves
Victims of happenstance

When I was younger
I'd smoke candy cigarettes
And blow imaginary smoke rings
Across my silhouette

In 1999
She was just a little thing
A decade since her year of birth
Some more 'til her wedding ring

I'm quite concerned about Irene
I am I am I am
I'm quite concerned about Irene
I am I am I am

I met her one stormy day
When she was still all there
She had eyes that could look straight through you son
And blossoms in her hair

And when those wedding bells ring
I'll never be the same
But she's someone else's burden now
And I'm the one to blame

I'm quite concerned about Irene
I am I am I am
I'm quite concerned about Irene
I am I am I am
I did not mean to be so mean
I am I am I am
But I'm always thinking about Irene
I am I am I am

I am I am I am
I am I am I am
