"Lover, You Should've Come Over" lyrics
(originally by 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
Maybe I'm too young
To keep good love from going wrong
But tonight you're on my mind
So you never know, oh
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
I said 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, ever see your sweet return
Oh, will I ever learn?
Oh, oh, oh, lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late
Mmm, oh
Lonely is the room, the bed is made
The open window let's the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one
Who dreams he had you with him
My body burns 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
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
Maybe I'm just too young
To keep good love from going wrong
I'm, I'm, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, lover, lover, you should've come over
Mmm, I feel too young to hold on
But much too old to see the damage I've done
See I was too blind to see how much that I've, I've, I
Lover, lover, lover, oh, oh I'll wait all day on
I'll wait all day on
I'll wait on, I'll wait on, I'll wait on, I'll wait on
Oh, lover, lover you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late
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, oh
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
I said 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, ever see your sweet return
Oh, will I ever learn?
Oh, oh, oh, lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late
Mmm, oh
Lonely is the room, the bed is made
The open window let's the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one
Who dreams he had you with him
My body burns 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
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
Maybe I'm just too young
To keep good love from going wrong
I'm, I'm, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, lover, lover, you should've come over
Mmm, I feel too young to hold on
But much too old to see the damage I've done
See I was too blind to see how much that I've, I've, I
Lover, lover, lover, oh, oh I'll wait all day on
I'll wait all day on
I'll wait on, I'll wait on, I'll wait on, I'll wait on
Oh, lover, lover you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late
