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 had 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 |
Bridge: |
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 |
For 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 watch 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 |
