"Lover, You Should've Come Over"

I've been singing that song for as long as it exists...

Jeff Buckley - "Lover, You Should've Come Over"

--

"Lover, You Should've Come Over"

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 

And maybe i'm too young to keep good love from going wrong 

But tonight you're on my mind so you never know 

When i'm 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 

Sometimes a man gets carried away, when he feels like he should be having his fun 

And much too blind to see the damage he's done 

Sometimes a man must awake to find that really, he has no-one 

So i'll wait for you... and i'll burn 

Will I ever 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 yearns for a sleep that will never 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 

It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter 

It's never over, she's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever

Well maybe i'm just too young 

To keep good love from going wrong

Oh... lover, you should've come over 

'Cause it's not too late 

Well I feel too 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 

Oh, love well i'm waiting for you 

Lover, you should've come over

'Cause it's not too late
