Till The Pain Outwears The Shame

(album: You've Never Been This Far Before/baby's Gone - 1973)

It's common knowledge everybody knows I love you
When cheating caused you wear another's name
Every night I swear tomorrow I'll forget you Lord I can't
I'll keep hurting till the pain outwears the shame.

So I'll be back in your arms again tomorrow
We'd led us part a stolen love become a burning flame
It's wrong and I should go but when I do I know
I'll be hurting till the pain outwears the shame.

Tonight I love you for the last time then I'll say goodbye
But down inside I know it's all in vain
Before I'll leave the hurt's already starting I can't go
I think it's over till the pain outwears the shame.

So I'll be back in your arms again tomorrow
We'd led us part a stolen love become a burning flame
It's wrong and I should go but when I do I know
I'll be hurting till the pain outwears the shame...
