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 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
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
