I Know It's Over
Oh Mother, I can feelThe soil falling over my headAnd as I climb into an empty bedOh well... Enough saidI know it's over - still I clingI don't know where else I can goOh...
Oh Mother, I can feelThe soil falling over my headSee, the sea wants to take meThe knife wants to slit meDo you think you can help me ?Sad veiled bride, please be happyHandsome groom, give her roomLoud, loutish lover, treat her kindly(although she needs youMore than she loves you)
And I know it's over - still I clingI don't know where else I can go(Over and over and over and overOver and over...)I know it's over
And it never really beganBut in my heart it was so realAnd you even spoke to me, and said:"If you're so funnyThen why are you on your own tonight?And if you're so cleverThen why are you on your own tonight?If you're so very entertainingThen why are you on your own tonight?If you're so very good-lookingWhy do you sleep alone tonight?I know...Because tonight isJust like any other nightThat's why you're on your own tonightWith your triumphs and your charmsWhile they're in each other's arms..."
It's so easy to laughIt's so easy to hateIt takes strength to be gentle and kind(Over, over, over, over)It's so easy to laughIt's so easy to hateIt takes guts to be gentle and kind(Over, over)
Love is Natural and RealBut not for you, my loveNot tonight, my loveLove is Natural and RealBut not for such as you and I,My love
Oh Mother, I can feelThe soil falling over my headOh Mother, I can feelThe soil falling over my headOh Mother, I can feelThe soil falling over my headOh Mother, I can feelThe soil falling over my
