I sat myself down Tuesday Wrote myself a song Just things I want to say About what is wrong But all of my complaining Well, it comes to no avail And things I really need to say I've yet to learn myself Ah but, I won't cry, no And I won't wail, no I'll tell myself that you never fail Until it's over And when it's over, it's over So, I wrote myself a letter And I sent it off to you To make myself feel better - I tried to tell the truth I wrote a song for Jesus Christ And one for Noah's Ark I sang a song for morning light, And I still sat in the dark But, I won't cry, no And I won't wail, no I'll tell myself that you never fail Until it's over And when it's over, it's over So I accept I can't do nothing Do nothing at all I see myself, a big long road And I build myself a wall I dig myself a tunnel So I could get on under And join the rest of the human race Just ask why and wonder But, I won't cry, no And I won't wail, no I'll tell myself that you never fail Until it's over And when it's over, it's over And when it's over, it's over It's over, it's over
