Jeff Buckley | Lyrics | Lover, You Should Have Come Over

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 goin' 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 havin' 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'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 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 goin' wrong
Oh oh oh oh ohh
You should've come over, yeah, yeah

Yes, 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've come over

Oh, love well I'm waiting for you
Lover, lover, lover, lover love
Love, love, love, love, love, lover, lover
You should've come over
It's not too late
