What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
They were married in the old Church yard
2
And they promised to be true to each other
3
No matter how hard their lives might be
4
But like meteors that fell through moments parallel
5
They were soon to cross
6
And on different plots of earth they both did fall
7
Though their lives had really not been hard at all
8
Chorus:
9
Oh my what a shame
10
No one's to blame
11
It just happened that way
12
And there's nothing you can say
13
When two people say goodbye
14
Oh my...
15
Two brothers, promised they'd return
16
When the war that they were fighting was over
17
But only one lived to keep his vow
18
And the story I was told said he lived to be quite old
19
Before time won out
20
Someone asked if he knew what they both fought for
21
But he could not recall he had ever been to war
22
[Chorus:]
23
Bridge:
24
For there's nothing you can say when it's over
25
And there's nothing you can do when it's done
26
There's no battle you can win
27
And there's nothing to begin
28
That's not begun
29
On this moment, I recall your face
30
And I wonder if you still think about me
31
Occasionally I still think of you
32
And I watch the river flow and I know I must let go
33
But it's oh so hard
34
For the waves are all around my small canoe
35
I had always hoped this boat could carry two
36
[Chorus:]
