OH, MOTHER, I CAN FEEL
THE SOIL FALLIN' 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 FALLIN' 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, IT'S OVER, IT'S OVER
IT'S OVER, YOU KNOW 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 ARE SO CLEVER
THEN WHY ARE YOU
ON YOUR OWN TONIGHT
IF YOU'RE SO VERY ENTERTAININ'
THEN WHY ARE YOU
ON YOUR OWN TONIGHT
IF YOU'RE SO VERY GOOD LOOKIN'
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
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 FALLIN' OVER MY HEAD
OH... MOTHER, I CAN FEEL
THE SOIL FALLIN' OVER MY HEAD
OH... MOTHER, I CAN FEEL
THE SOIL FALLIN' OVER MY... HEAD
OH, MOTHER, I CAN FEEL
THE SOIL FALLIN' OVER MY... HEAD
OH, MOTHER, I CAN FEEL
THE SOIL FALLIN' OVER MY HEAD
OH, MOTHER, I CAN FEEL
THE SOIL FALLIN' OVER MY... HEAD
OH, MOTHER, I CAN FEEL
THE SOIL FALLIN' OVER MY... HEAD
OH, MOTHER, I CAN FEEL
THE SOIL FALLIN' OVER MY HEAD
