End Of The World
Vonda Shepard · Songs From Ally McBeal
Why does the sea rush to shore?
DonÂ’t they know itÂ’s the end of the world?
‘Cause you don’t love me anymore?
Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
DonÂ’t they know itÂ’s the end of the world?
It ended when I lost your love
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why evÂ’rythingÂ’s the same as it was
I canÂ’t understand, no I canÂ’t understand
How life goes on the way it does
Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
DonÂ’t they know itÂ’s the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye
DonÂ’t they know itÂ’s the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye
