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, la ... 
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 
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 ... 
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 ...
