Biography

American singer songwriter, active from the 2nd half of the 1960s until his death aged 28. Father of [a159169] who also died young. Born: 14 February 1947, Washington, D.C., USA. Died: 29 June 1975. Santa Monica. CA. USA. Buckley started out as a folk singer but quickly stood out for his extraordinary voice and compositions. He further built his reputation with forays into experimental music and improvisation, which can be heard on the albums Happy Sad, Lorca and Starsailor. Those albums never brought him commercial success, and in the third phase of his career Buckley went for a more commercial sound - again with little success at the time. Buckley died as the result of a lethal cocktail of celebratory binge-drinking and a heroin overdose at the age of 28, the day after completing the last show of a USA tour in Dallas, Texas.

LYRICS

In my heart is where I long for you
In my smile I search for you
Each time you turn and run away I cry inside
My silly way, just too young to know any more
In my world the devil dances and dares
To leave my soul just anywhere,
Until I find peace in this world
I'll sing a song everywhere I can
Just too young to know any more

The wind covers me cold
The starry skies all around my eyes
Far behind the city moans
Well worthy of the people there
Oh, the psalms they love to hear

So let me sing a song for you
Just to help your day along
Let me sing a song for you
One I've known so very long
Oh, please could you find the time
