ELO, Lyrics:
It's over.
Summer came and passed away,
hardly seemed to last a day
but it's over and what can I do?
Music playin' in the air,
silence on a darkened stair
'cos it's over and what can I do?
It's over, it's over, all over,
it's all over now
and the way you looked don't even mean I'm down.
When you kick out the sea and the sun says goodbye
there is nothing much to speak of.
Feelin' down, down, down,
it's all over.
Feelin' down, down, down.
Baby, baby, it's all gone,
rolled out to sea.
Lookin' over sunny days,
searchin' for the righteous wave
'cos it's over and what can I do?
Lookin' from this distant shore
you ain't sailin' by no more
'cos it's over and what can I do?
It's over, it's over, all over,
it's all over now
and the way you looked don't even mean I'm down.
When you kick out the sea and the sun says goodbye
there is nothing much to speak of.
Feelin' down, down, down,
it's all over.
Feellin' down, down, down.
Ah, it's over, it's over, it's over,
it's all over and what can I do?
Ah, it's over, it's over,
it's all over.
Oh, it's over, it's over.
Don't shed a tear for me, it's over,
don't shed a tear although it's over.
Jeff Lynne
