I Know Its Over — текст песни (Jeff Buckley)

(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.
