I Know It's Over
Oh mother, i can feel the soil falling over my head
And as i climb into an empty bed
Oh well. enough said.
I know it's over - still i cling
I don't know where else i can go
Oh ...
Oh mother, i can feel the soil falling over my head
See, the sea wants to take me
The knife wants to slit me
Do you think you can help me ?
Sad veiled bride, please be happy
Handsome groom, give her room
Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
(though she needs you
More than she loves you)
And i know it's over - still i cling
I don't know where else i can go
Over & over & over & over
Over & over, la ...
I know it's over
And it never really began
But in my heart it was so real
And you even spoke to me, & said :
"if you're so funny
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
And if you're so clever
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very entertaining
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very good-looking
Why do you sleep alone tonight ?
I know ...
'cause tonight is just like any other night
That's why you're on your own tonight
With your triumphs & your charms
While they're in each other's arms..."
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle & kind
Over, over, over, over
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes guts to be gentle & kind
Over, over
Love is natural & real
But not for you, my love
Not tonight, my love
Love is natural & real
But not for such as you & i, my love
Oh mother, i can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh mother, i can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh mother, i can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh mother, i can feel the soil falling over my ...
Oh mother, i can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh mother, i can even feel the soil falling over my head
Oh mother, i can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh mother, i can feel the soil falling over my ...
