Lyrics The End of the World - Rickie Lee Jones

The End of the World

Why does the sun go on shining
Why does the sea rush to shore
Well, 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
Yeah 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 is the same as it was
No, I can’t understand
I can’t understand
How life goes on just like before
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
Darling I just can’t get on my feet anymore
Can’t get on my feet anymore
Now I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything is the same as it was
I can’t understand
I can’t understand
How life goes on the way it does
Oh, 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
(Ooh) oh my, my, my baby
Goodbye
