Oh My, What A Shame

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 has
Really not been hard at all
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
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
And 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 saw 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's nothing you can say
When two people say goodbye
Oh my
