Lyrics

It's a Shame About Ray

[Verse 1]

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 to say

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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
