Herman's Hermits starring Peter Noone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why does the sea rush to shore
Don't they know it's the end of the world
When you don't love me anymore
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
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
And I can't understand, no I can't understand
Why life goes on the way it does
Why do the birds go on singing
Why do the stars shine above
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye

The verses that follow delve deeper into this cruel reality, with the singer wondering why everything seems to go on as if nothing happened. It's a sentiment that many people who have experienced heartbreak can relate to, as they wonder how the world can keep moving even though their world has stopped.
