Jeff Buckley - Lover, You Should've Come Over (Official version)

Track No7

Lyrics:
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

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

Sometimes a man gets carried away,
When he feels like he should be having his fun
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 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...
It's never over,
All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter...
It's never over,
She's a tear that hangs inside my soul forever...

But maybe I'm just too young to keep good love
From going wrong
Oh... lover you should've come over...

Yes, and I feel too young to hold on
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'll wait for you
Lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late.

When they make a movie about his life James Franco is gonna play him.

[CronosN]

@BenEToes , I really hope sooo! They are both so amazing!

I really like him as James Dean so, most likely, he will make a great Jeff Buckley, too.

[ICEHALOSMUSIC]

great lyrics, my favorite part is " 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 a tear that hangs inside my soul forever..." i wish i was that person whom he wrote this song for..

[CronosN]

@ICEHALOSMUSIC me too!

[TheStephbiggs]

Its never over, he is the tear that hangs inside my soul forever.

[lovelivelaugh004]

Am I the only one that thinks James Franco looks like him??

[ANYorkable]

@BenEToes Wow! I was thinking the EXACT same thing, and thinking ideas for writing already....kind of weird I stumbled upon your comment

[arontao]

@BenEToes there are already 2 different projects for a Jeff Buckley movie, the 2 movies are gonna be realeased almost at the same time ( that's what i heard)

[mobius6]

@ICEHALOSMUSIC aprently that would be; Rebecca Moore

Too young to hold on

and Too old to just break free and run.

Pretty much the human condition there.

[Samelie81]

My favourite Jeff Buckley song. I don't listen to it often as it moves me so... I love you Jeff.
