Oh My What A Shame Lyrics

They were married in the old church yard

and they promised to be true to each other

no matter how hard their lives might be

but like meteors that fell through moments 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 is nothing you can say

when two people say good-bye

Oh my

Two brothers promised they'd return

when the war that 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 asked 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 is nothing you can say

when two people say good-bye

Oh my

For there's 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 is nothing you can say

when two people say good-bye

Oh my
