P. J. Harvey - Shame lyrics

I got the invitation that you sent me,

You wanted me to see you change your name

I couldn't stand to see you wed another

But dear I hope you're happy just the same

I planned a little cottage in the valley,

I even bought that little band of gold

I thought some day I'd place it on your finger,

But now the future looks so dark and cold

Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel

That should be ringing now for you and me

Down the aisle with someone else you're walking

Those wedding bells with never ring for me

Darling, let's turn back the years

And go back to yesterday

Let's pretend that time has stopped

And I didn't go away

We had our love to make us happy

Love wasn't meant to bring us tears

Love like ours should never die

So, darling, let's turn back the years

I fancy that I see a bunch of roses

A blossom from and orange tree in your hair

While the organ plays "I Love You Truly,"

Just let me pretend that I am there

Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel

That should be ringing now for you and me

Down the aisle with someone else you're walking

Those wedding bells with never ring for me

Those wedding bells with never ring for me
