『END OF THE WORLD』という曲があります。この曲はSkeeter Davisが1963年にヒットさせて以来、カーペンターズなど多くのアーティストにカバーされている名曲です。つい数年前も竹内まりやがカバーしていました。この作者は近親者を亡くした気持ちを詞にしたそうです。
誰しもいつかは乗り越えなければならない悲しみが訪れます。時はいつかその悲しみ全てを忘却の彼方へ連れ去ってくれるのだと思います。
Why does the sun go on shining
And 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
Oh 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 everything'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
And why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said good-bye
Why does the sun go on shining
And why does the sea rush to shore
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said good-bye
誰しもいつかは乗り越えなければならない悲しみが訪れます。時はいつかその悲しみ全てを忘却の彼方へ連れ去ってくれるのだと思います。
