Isn't It A Pity - Bernard Fanning

I probably knew all along

That in my hour of need

You’d be gone

I’m guessing you thought about it all

Then turned your back on me

And lost your tongue

Isn’t it a pity

That when the night time comes there’s no-one in your arms

Isn’t it a pity

That I still cry for you but you’re not coming home

A weight sinking deep in my chest

Setting off the loaded charge

Lurking in the depths

Deep down I smoulder and seethe

With unspoken pains

And poisoned beliefs

Isn’t it a pity

That when the night time comes there’s no-one in your arms

Isn’t it a pity

That I still cry for you but you’re not coming home

In my hour of need

You turned your back on me

In my hour of need

Now all your fabled advice

Rings of emptiness and studied lines

I have resolved to erase

All the bitterness

And venom in my veins

Isn’t it a pity

That when the night time comes there’s no-one in your arms

Isn’t it a pity

That I still cry for you but you’re not coming home

Isn’t it a pity

That in my hour of need you turned your back on me

Isn’t it a pity

Isn’t it a pity
