I Know It's Over

[Verse 1] Oh, Mother, I can feel The soil falling over my head And as I climb into an empty bed Oh well, enough said [Chorus] I know it's over, still I cling I don't know where else I can go Over, over [Verse 2] Oh, Mother, I can feel The soil falling over my head You 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 [Chorus] I know it's over, still I cling I don't know where else I can go Over, 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, oh [Verse 3] "Well, if you're so funny Why are you on your own tonight? And if you are 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, because tonight is just like any other night That's why you're on your own tonight With your triumphs and your charms While they are in each other's arms" [Bridge] It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate It takes strength to be gentle and kind Over, over, it's over, it's 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 [Verse 4] Oh, Mother, I can feel The soil falling over my head, oh-oh Oh, Mother, I can feel The soil falling over my head, oh, oh 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 Oh, Mother, I can feel The soil falling over my head, mmm Oh, Mother, I can feel [Outro] That's about it, let's go home That was nice
