Oh My What A Shame
They were married in the old churchyard and they promised to be true to each other no matter how hard their lives might be.
But like meteors that fell through monents parallel. They were soon to cross and on different plots of earth.
They both did fall though their lives had really not been hard at all.
Oh my what a shame. No one's to blame. It just happened that way and there's nothing you can say when two people say goodbye. Oh my!
Two brothers promised they'd return when the war they were fighting was over.
But only one lived to keep his vow. And the story I was told said he lived to be quite old
Before time won out, someone asks if he knew what they both fought for, but he could not recall he'd ever been to war.
Oh my what a shame. No one's to blame. It just happened that way and there's nothing you can say when two people say goodbye. Oh my!
For there is nothing you can say when it's over. And there's nothing you can do when it's done. There's no battle you can win and there's nothing to begin that's not begun.
In this moment I recall your face and I wonder if you still think about me.
Occasionally, I still think of you. And I watch the river flow and I know I must let go.
But it's oh so hard for the waves are all around my small canoe.
I had always hoped this boat could carry two.
Oh my what a shame. No one's to blame. It just happened that way and there's nothing you can say when two people say goodbye. Oh my!
