Lyrics
Pick up to six lines to make a card.
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
You see, the sea wants to take me
The night, it 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
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
Why are you on your own tonight?
And if you are so clever
Why are you on your own tonight?
And if you are so very entertaining
Why are you on your own tonight?
And if you are so very good-looking
Why do you sleep alone tonight?"
I know, because tonight is just like any other night
That's why you're on your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms
While they are 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
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
