I Know It’s Over (Live in London, 1986)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I can feel the soil falling over my head And as I climb into an empty bed Oh well, enough said [Chorus] I know it's over, still I cling I don't know where else I can go Over [Verse 2] Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head See, the sea wants to take me The knife wants to cut 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 [Chorus] 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 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 [Verse 3] "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, it's just like any other night That's why you're on your own tonight Your triumphs and your charms While they are in each other's arms" [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head, ohh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head, ohh 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 head, oh And please, please Soil over, over my head, oh Oh, over, oh Over Over Over Over my head Oh
