Lover, you should’ve come over

I can’t seem to get this song out of my head. it’s by jeff buckley. A friend reminded me of it, which led to an hour-long conversation about romance and geography, which eventually concluded with long sighs…..

I’m lost in the mean halls of malcolm, but this song seems to give me hope that something or someone is not yet too late headed towards me and is now just around the corner. wishful thinking. but the song reminds me of this dream i have of a girl sleeping in the passenger seat of my car curled up like a ball, with her eyes peacefully shut and her lips slightly open just like a baby…….

i don’t think you, my dear reader (if such exists), are going to understand my ramblings, nonetheless, enjoy the poetry of the song’s lyrics. i hope you like it, and if you do, check the song (if you haven’t heard it yet), it’s way sadder and, for that, more beautiful. do we really have to be sad to be beautiful?……

Lover, you should’ve come over……
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
And maybe Im too young to keep good love from going wrong
But tonight youre on my mind so you never know…..

When Im 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 hes done
Sometimes a man must awake to find that really, he has no-one……

So Ill wait for you… and Ill burn
Will I ever see your sweet return
Oh will I ever learn……

Oh lover, you shouldve come over
cause its 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……

Its never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
Its never over, all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her
Its never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
Its never over, shes the tear that hangs inside my soul forever……..

Well maybe Im just too young
To keep good love from going wrong……..

Oh… lover, you shouldve come over
cause its not too late……….

Well I feel too young to hold on
And Im much too old to break free and run
Too deaf, dumb, and blind to see the damage Ive done
Sweet lover, you shouldve come over
Oh, love well Im waiting for you…………..

Lover, you shouldve come over
cause its not too late………
