Shame On Us

It's the little failures every day that take you far away

Take you far away from here

Fail to notice, fail to speak, fail to toe the line,

Fail to keep the coast clear

You'll kick the tiny silver shoes and linger in the hall

The light's out in the living room

You'll make some coffee then you'll go, drive blindly toward the moon

All the monuments in bloom

I guess we didn't fool anyone, for any part of the time

Shame on us, shame on love

Sometimes resignation finds me, sometimes it's just fear poisoning the Sound of your name

There's nothing left here to amuse me no one left to blame

All the players folded from the game

I guess we didn't fool anyone, for any part of the time

Shame on us, shame on love

(I'll be tender, I'll be true, still in love with you)
