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 over...



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...



I know it's over, and it never really began

But in my heart, it was so real

And you even spoke to me and 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, because tonight is just like any other night

It's why you're on your own tonight

With your triumphs and your charms

While they're in each others arms



It's so easy to love, it's so easy to hate

It takes strength to be gentle and kind, over over over over

It's so easy to love, it's so easy to hate

It takes guts to be gentle and kind, over over...



Love is natural and real

But not for you my love

Not tonight my love

Love is natural and real

But not for such as you and I, my love



Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head

Mother I can feel the soil falling over my head

Mother I can feel the soil falling over my head

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 head.
