Lover, You Should Have Come Over
(Jeff Buckley, Version: Jamie Cullum)

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'll never know

I'm broken down and hungry for your love with no ways to feed it
Where are you tonight, you know how much I need it
Too young to hold on, and too old to break free and run

Sometimes a man gets carried away
When he feels like he should be having his fun
And he's much too blind to see the damage he's done
'Cause 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

Sometimes a man gets carried away, when he feels like he should be having his fun
And he's much too blind to see the damage he's done
'Cause 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

'Cause it's not too late

hello 2007! i'm slacking off my blogging duties for now... haven't posted a song in a long time! this is a great, great song that i re-discovered (that's my favorite pastime -- playing old records / cassettes / CDs) just this week when i played Jamie Cullum's Twentysomething LP. pity i didn't notice this the first time. (i'm looking for the original by Jeff Buckley... where is it?) ... beautiful piano, earnest lyrics. moved me to mountains. consider this my valentine's song or something...

promise an update next week. (hooray, no classes on tuesday! XD)
