LOVER, YOU SHOULD'VE COME OVER

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 
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
