The end of the world

この歌はカレンカーペンターが歌うので知ったけど、実は1963年にすでにSkeeter　Davisという人に歌われていたようだ。よい歌は確実に歌いつがれる。何度聞いてもうっとりしてしまう。

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
'Cause you don't love me anymore?

Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
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 ev'rything'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 know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye
Don't they know know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye
