Songtext I know it's over Jeff Buckley

I know it's over

(morrissey/j.marr)
Originally performed by the smiths. jeff performed it several times, usually in medley with hallelujah or with kangaroo.
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 its over still I cling, I dont know where else I can go
Over and over.....
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
See the sea wants to take me, the knife wants to slit (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 - and I know its over - still I cling
I dont know where else I can go - over and over.....
I know its over and it never really began but in my heart it was so real
And she even spoke to me and said
If youre so funny, then why are you on your own tonight?
And if youre so clever then why are you on your own tonight?
And if youre so very entertaining then why are you on your own tonight?
And if youre so very good looking, then why do you sleep alone tonight?
I know - cos tonight is just like any other night - thats why youre on
Your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms - while theyre in each others arms
Its so easy to laugh its so easy to hate it takes strength to be gentle
And kind - over and over....
Its so easy to laugh its so easy to hate it takes guts to be gentle and
Kind - over and 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... etc.
