i know it's over [live]
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  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, 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 head  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 head
