Damn Shame

Damn Shame



Meet me by the water’s edge

Next to the Carroll Street Bridge

And show me some photographs 

I’d like to know where you’ve been



I’ve been right here

Writing the same damn song

Using the same four chords

I’d show you the melody

But I can’t seem to nail down the words

Oh Lord



Don’t you know it’s a damn shame?

Empty store fronts on the avenues

Man the city don’t feel the same

It’s a crime what the time can do

Don’t you know it’s a damn shame?

Don’t you know it’s a damn shame?



How has your brother been?

Is he still trapped inside his mind?

I think of him now and then

As I sit by the riverside



I found a place to take away the pain

It’s always been right here

Just close your eyes and count your breaths

‘Til you disappear

Oh Lord



Shame

Shame
