Lover, You Should've Come Over Lyrics - Grace - 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 

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 have 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 the tear 

That hangs inside my soul forever 

Oh, but maybe I'm just too young 

To keep good love from going wrong 

Oh, lover you should have come over 

Yeah, 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 have come over 

Oh, love I'm waiting for you 

Lover, lover, lover, love, love, love 

Love, love, love, love, love, love, love 

Lover, you should have come over 

'Cause it's not too late
