It's A Shame

(album: Blackbird On A Lonely Wire - 2003)

How would this be if I was alone tonight
Maybe then my love everything would turn out right
I wish that this were easy but you know that it never is
It seems like hearts get broken during things like this

And if you see her walking down along these streets
Her body softly swaying to her heart's broken beats
And if you see her tell her that I'm doing fine
And tell her if she feels like talking she should call me sometime

And I can't fight it anymore
I can't stop it once it starts

Well it's a shame babe
Well it's a shame babe
Well it's a shame babe
The way we've torn it all apart

And if you see her let her know I wish her well
And if things will get much better tell her only time will tell
'Cause if she's lonely well I'm alright
'Cause you know
When it falls down I'll be there to pick it up one more time
