The End Of The World









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?

Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?

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?
