Lyrics

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, mother
 ♪
 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
 Although 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
 It's over, it's over, it's over
 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 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"
 It's so easy to laugh
 It's so easy to hate
 It takes strength to be gentle and kind
 It's over, over, over, over
 It's so easy to laugh
 It's so easy to hate
 It takes guts to be gentle and kind
 It's over, 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 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
