Don Mclean - Oh My What A Shame Lyrics

Send "Oh My What A Shame" ringtone to your cell

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

Chorus:

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 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 had ever been to war

(chorus)

Bridge:

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

On 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

(chorus)
