It's A Shame - Sarah Jane Morris

I believe it is a shame,

I believe it is a shame.

Stopped the wind before it hit me.

A stone died in the sea.

You used to catch me lightly

Falling like a leaf.

Why can’t things just stay the same?

Why can’t things just stay the same?

Oh, the face of love keeps changing

And when you think you’ve got it tamed

Your eyes will open one day

And its up and its gone away.

I believe it is a shame.

Yes, I believe it is a shame

That you can say that it’s forever

And ever comes again.

But life will keep you bleeding

And standing in the rain.

I believe something remains.

Yes, I believe something remains

Coz when lovers ache together

Over many passing years

Something deep and knowing

Is born in all their tears.

I believe something remains.

Yes, I believe something remains.

Why can’t things just stay the same?

Why can’t things just stay the same?

I believe it is a shame.

i believe it is a shame.

Why can’t things just stay the same?

I believe something remains.
