Before I saw Before I took Too soon to see That there was nothing Left for me She sang low a lullaby Will I really fail at every single thing I try And will the moon eclipse the sun I ate the knife And the knife won There comes a time In each dumb life When each of us Must feed his wife And love her true And never hurt And do the things That you must do She sang low a lullaby Will I really fail at every single thing I try And will the moon eclipse the sun I ate the knife And the knife won (I have born this ragged ride exposure has made me deride) And there's a joke That has a twist And does not end in wedded bliss She sang a low lullaby Will I really fail at every single thing I try And will the moon eclipse the sun I ate the knife And the knife won It's all over
