Lyrics: Cowboy Junkies. Early 21st Century Blues. Isn't It a Pity.

Isn't it a pity, isn't it a shame
How we break each other's hearts and cause each other pain?
How we take each other's love without thinking anymore
Forgetting to give back, isn't it a pity?

Some things take so long but how do I explain?
Not too many people can see we're all the same
And because of all their tears, their eyes can't hope to see
All the beauty that surrounds them, isn't it a pity?

Isn't it a pity, isn't it a shame
How we break each other's hearts and cause each other pain?
How we take each other's love without, without thinking anymore
Forgetting to give back, isn't it a pity?

Forgetting to give back, isn't it a shame?
Forgetting to give back, isn't it a pity?

Isn't it a pity, isn't it a shame
How we break each other's hearts and cause each other pain?
Isn't it a pity, isn't it a shame
How we take each other's love without thinking anymore?

It's a pity, it's a shame, oh yeah, oh yeah
Forgetting to give back, it's a pity, oh yeah
Isn't it a shame?
