Twice, Shame On Me



Shame on me
For the fiddler's song
is quiet and still i danced.
Shame on you,
For you carried a tune
And away from me you pranced.
But shame on me now
for a new song
that I am chasing away.
Shame on that song
for inviting me in
knowing I could never stay.
They say fool me once, love,
shame on you.
Fool me twice, love,
shame on me.
Well I will dance away
with shame on my arm
like a heart sowed onto my sleeve.
