I can feel the soil falling over my head <br />
And as I climb into an empty bed <br />
Oh well. Enough said. <br />
I know it's over - still I cling <br />
I don't know where else I can go <br />
Over ... <br />
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head <br />
See, the sea wants to take me <br />
The knife wants to cut me <br />
Do you think you can help me ? <br />
Sad veiled bride, please be happy <br />
Handsome groom, give her room <br />
Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly <br />
(Though she needs you <br />
More than she loves you) <br />
And I know it's over - still I cling <br />
I don't know where else I can go <br />
Over, it's over, it's over, it's over <br />
It's over, la ... <br />
I know it's over <br />
And it never really began <br />
But in my heart it was so real<br />
And you even spoke to me, and said : <br />
"If you're so funny <br />
Then why are you on your own tonight ? <br />
And if you're so clever <br />
Then why are you on your own tonight ? <br />
I know ... <br />
'Cause tonight - it's just like any other night <br />
That's why you're on your own tonight <br />
Your triumphs and your charms <br />
While they're in each other's arms..."<br />
It's so easy to laugh <br />
It's so easy to hate <br />
It takes strength to be gentle and kind <br />
Over, over, over, over <br />
It's so easy to laugh <br />
It's so easy to hate <br />
It takes guts to be gentle and kind <br />
Over, over <br />
Love is Natural and Real <br />
But not for you, my love <br />
Not tonight, my love <br />
Love is Natural and Real <br />
But not for such as you and I, my love <br />
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head <br />
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head, oh ... <br />
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head <br />
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head <br />
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil fall over my head <br />
Mother, I can feel the soil fall over my head <br />
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil fall over, fall over my head <br />
Oh Mother, I can feel the ... fall over my ... <br />
Oh ...
