Lyrics Patrick Watson

Patrick Watson

Shame

There was a time

Where our years just felt alive

Well the world started to change

And it never quite felt the same

And the sky turned to fire

And the people cried Oh why, ooh

So they (looked) far and wide

When the answer was in front of their eyes

Little children started to cry, ooh

Screaming 'Mama and Papa, ooh why'

So they told them a lie

Just to silence

And the people started to die

With their hands (tilted..?)

They've been waiting for the moment before they fall down dead

Singing ooh what a shame (shame, shame, shame)

Oooh what a shame

Oooh what a shame (shame, shame, shame)

Oooh what a shame

What a shame, what a shame

Ooh, la-la-la...what a shame

What a shame...
