Lover, You Should've Come Over / [1994-10-23 host outro] Songtext
von Jeff Buckley

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, we′ll 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 having his fun
Much too blind to see the damage he's done
Oh, sometimes a man must awake to find that really, he has no one


So I wait for you
And I'll burn
Will I ever see your sweet return?
Oh, will I ever learn?

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
And 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
Oh, 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
To keep good love from going wrong


Oh, oh, oh, lover
Lover, you should′ve come over
Yes
Yes I, I feel too young to hold on
But 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
I know, and I wait for you
Lover, lover, lover
Love, love, love, love, love
Lover, lover
Lover, you should've come over
′Cause it's not too late
