Lyrics

Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
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
Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
See, the seed 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
I know it's over, still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Over, over, over, over, over
I know it's over, 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, then why do you sleep alone tonight?
'Cause tonight is just like any other night
Is 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, over, 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
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
