I believe it is a shame. I believe it is a shame. Stop the wind before it hit me The stone died in the sea You used to catch me lightly Falling like a leaf. So why can't things just stay the same? So why can't things just stay the same? Oh the face of love keeps changing When you think you've got it tamed. Your eyes will open one day And it's something gone again. I believe it is a shame. Yeah, I believe it is a shame. That you can say that it is forever And never come again. But life will keep you bleeding And standing in the rain. And I believe something remains. Yes, I believe something remains. Cuz when lovers ache together Over many passing years. Something deep in knowing Is following all the tears. I believe it is a shame. Yeah, I believe it is a shame. This is a song for Sarah Jane.
