Jeff Buckley
Lover, You Should’ve Come Over (Live À L’ Olympia 1995)
Looking out the door, I see the rain
Fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations
As their shoes fill up with water
Well maybe I'm too young
To keep good love from going wrong
But tonight, you're on my mind
So, you never know
Broken down and hungry for your love
With no way to feed it
Where are you tonight?
Child, you know how much I need it
Too young to hold on
And too old to just break free and run
Well, sometimes a man gets carried away
When he feels like he should be having his fun
Much to blind to see the damage he's done
You know, sometimes a man must awake to find that really
He has no one
So I'll wait for you
And yes, I'll burn
If I never see your sweet return
Oh will I ever learn
Oh lover, you should've come over
Cause it's not too late
Lonely is the room, the bed is made
The open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one
Who dreams he had you with him
My body turns, and it yearns
For a sleep that won't ever come
It's never over
My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over
All my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her
Oh, it's never over
All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
Oh, it's never over
She's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever
Oh, maybe I'm just too young
Yes I am
To keep good love from going wrong
I'll try to be better for you
Oh lover, you should've come over
I tried, but I feel to young to hold on
And I'm much too old to break free and run
Too deaf, dumb, and blind to see the damage I've done
Sweet lover, you should've come over
Over, over, over
Lover, lover, lover, you should've come over
Cause it's not too late
