I believe it is a shame
I believe it is a shame
Stopped the wind before it hit me
A 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 up and gone again

I believe it is a shame
Yeah I believe it is a shame
That you can say that it's forever
And ever comes again
But life will keep you bleeding
And standing in the rain

But I believe something remains
Yes I believe something remains
Cuz when lovers ache together
Over many passing years
Something deep and knowing
Is borne in all their tears
I believe it is a shame
I believe it is a shame
This is a song for Sarah Jane
