Ain't Nothin' Like A Shame [To Bring It All Back Home]

Album: A Coming Of Age [2010]
Author: Andrew Laidlaw

Every time I see your face, the sound of breaking news

The sound of breaking glass, breaking in my chest 

And every time I hear your name, I lose a little heart, I shed a little tear, I die a little death 

 

But over and over again I push it away down low

But there ain’t nothin’ like a shame to bring it all back home, to bring it all back home 

 

And every time you cross my path and darken 

My vicinity a sad malaise creeps into me like shadows on my lungs 

Every time I hear those words the ghost of troubles past

Like seven deadly sins come knocking at my door 

 

But over and over again I push it away down low, but there ain’t nothin’ like a shame, 

There ain’t nothin’ like a shame, there ain’t nothin’ like a shame 

To bring it all back home, to bring it all back home 

 

I’m not an alley cat, I can’t see in pitch black, no 

Stuck in a bad place, I can’t find my way back home 

Whenever I am alone I hear you taunting me and I won’t rest again 

 

For I can’t pretend I’ve courage to see it to the end ‘cause every time I see your face 

You bring it all back home, you bring it all back home
