Lyrics Jeff Buckley – Lover, You Should’ve 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
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’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 a tear that hangs inside my soul forever

But maybe I’m just too young
To keep good love from going wrong

Lover, you should’ve come over

Well yes I feel too young to hold on

Sweet lover, you should’ve come over
Oh, love well I’m waiting for you

Lover, you should’ve come over
It’s not too late
