Lyrics

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 and 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 and over...
 I know it's over
 and it never really began
 but in my heart it was so real
 And she even spoke to me and said
 If you're so funny,
 why are you on your own tonight?
 And if you're so clever
 why are you on your own tonight?
 And if you're so very entertaining
 why are you on your own tonight?
 And if you're so very good looking
 why do you sleep alone tonight?
 I know
 'cos 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 and over...
 It's so easy to laugh
 it's so easy to hate
 it takes guts to be gentle and kind
 over and 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 yes, 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 head
 Oh Mother, I can feel
