It’s a Shame About Ray

I've never been too good with names
The cellar door was open, I could never stay away
I know it's probably not my place
It's either-or, I'm hoping for a simple way of saying

It's a shame about Ray
In the stone, under the dust, his name is still engraved
Some things need to go away
It's a shame about Ray
(Put it away)

If I make it through today
I'll know tomorrow, not to leave my feelings out on display
I'll put the cobwebs back in place
I've never been too good with names, but I remember faces

It's a shame about Ray
In the stone, under the dust, his name is still engraved
Some things need to go away (shame, shame)
It's a shame about Ray
(Put it away)
