The End Of The World
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know
It's the end of the world
'Cause you don't love me
Anymore
Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know
It's the end of the world
It ended when I lost
Your love
I wake up in the morning
And I wonder
Why everything's the same
As it was
I can't understand
No, I can't understand
How life goes on
The way it does
Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know
It's the end of the world
It ended when you said
Goodbye
Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know
It's the end of the world
It ended when you said
Goodbye
