"I Know It's Over" Lyrics

4.9 / 5
Song updated, review now!
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...

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 over over 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
It's why you're on your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms
While they're in each others arms

It's so easy to love, it's so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle and kind, over over over over
It's so easy to love, 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
Mother I can feel the soil falling over my head
Mother I can feel the soil falling over my head
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.
