Biography

Jeffrey Scott Buckley (November 17, 1966 - May 29, 1997) was an American singer and guitarist who died at a young age, just like his father [a71872]. His unique voice, spanning four octaves, quickly launched him to semi-celebrity. After playing with experimental guitarist Gary Lucas in his band [a1263938], he released his first album Grace in 1994. Initial sales were slow but the album quickly received critical acclaim and appreciation from other musicians (among them Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, Bob Dylan and Paul McCartney). Just before recordings began for his second album which was to be called My Sweetheart The Drunk, Buckley drowned in the Wolf River in Memphis, Tennessee, aged 30. After Buckley's death some of the demo recordings for his second album were released on Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk. Early session work recorded in February 1993 was officially released in 2016 and 2019, and several albums composed of live recordings have also been released, along with a DVD of a live performance in Chicago. Fun fact: before breaking through Jeff Buckley had worked for 6 years as a receptionist at Magic Hotel in Los Angeles, California, USA.

LYRICS

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
When i'm 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 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 will never 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

Well maybe i'm just too young
To keep good love from going wrong

Oh... lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late

Well I feel too young to hold on
And 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, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late
