Hayes Carll

It's A Shame

The time has come, there is no second chance

We've been drifting on an empty aching sea

You were the girl I never knew I wanted

I was the boy you hoped you'd never see

And it's a shame that we ain't lovers

We could have been somethin' so big and grand

Just kissin' for hours underneath that sweet magnolia

Beggin' for answers, tryin' to make a stand

Been burnin' up the hours, talkin' to the midnight

Just dreamin' of ways I could hold you next to me

And maybe it just wasn't meant, all things have a reason

And maybe our hearts were just to careless and free

And it's a shame that we ain't lovers

We could have been somethin' so big and grand

Just kissin' for hours underneath that sweet magnolia

Beggin' for answers, tryin' to make a stand

There was a time, you would have had me

There was a time when I could have had you

Well it's too late, another path has come and gone again

I'm at the back door with a broken window view, thinkin'

And it's a shame that we ain't lovers

We could have been somethin' so big and grand

Just kissin' for hours underneath that sweet magnolia

Beggin' for answers, tryin' to make a stand

(2x)

Trying to make a stand

Trying to make a stand

Trying to make a stand
