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 and over and over and over
 Over and 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, 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 ...
 'Cause tonight is just like any other night
 That's why you're on your own tonight
 With your triumphs and 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 and kind
 Over, over, over, over
 It's so easy to laugh
 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
 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 ...
