Lyrics

I didn?t know you when you died
But I sat and watched your mother cry

I don?t really know her either
Her hair was short and blond
Just like I remember

You would?ve married in a few weeks
If not for that tree and a few to many drinks

So you where lower to the ground
to me your voice
was just another unfamiliar sound


That?s just a shame
What a shame
I only knew your name
What a shame

I have a picture of Cecelia
I wrapped it up to mail it to Atlanta

I thought John might like to have it
I don?t know why Since
I never gave a shit

One day I?ll grab the telephone
I?ll dial his number
And maybe he?ll be home

Then his voice will be familiar
We?ll end up friends
And will not die strangers

That would be a shame
yes a shame
If I only knew his name
What a shame
