GRACE – Jeff Buckley

There's the moon asking to stay Long enough for the clouds to fly me away Well it's my time coming, I’m not afraid to die My fading voice sings of love, But she cries to the clicking of time … of time

Wait in the fire...

And she weeps on my arm Walking to the bright lights in sorrow Oh drink a bit of wine we both might go tomorrow Oh my love And the rain is falling and I believe My time has come It reminds me of the pain I might leave … leave behind

Wait in the fire...

And I feel them drown my name So easy to know and forget with this kiss I'm not afraid to go but it goes so slow

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

LOVER … YOU SHOULD’VE COME OVER

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 doneSweet 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

but … I’m afraid to love you

SO REAL

"Dream Brother"

There is a child sleeping near his twin The pictures go wild in a rush of wind That dark angel he is shuffling in Watching over them with his black feather wings unfurled

The love you lost with her skin so fair Is free with the wind in her butterscotch hair Her green eyes blew goodbyes With her head in her hands and your kiss on the lips of another Dream Brother with your tears scattered round the world.

Don't be like the one who made me so oldDon't be like the one who left behind his name 'Cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine And nobody ever came...

Don't be like the one who made me so old Don't be like the one who left behind his name 'Cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine And nobody ever came...

I feel afraid and I call your name I love your voice and your dance insaneI hear your words and I know your pain With your head in your hands and her kiss on the lips of another Your eyes to the ground and the world spinning round foreverAsleep in the sand with the ocean washing over Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over

Ah do you meet the one I love and smell the one who loves you Dream brother, dream brother, dream, dreamdream asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over

Well I feel too young to hold on and I’m much too old to break free and run

Well maybe I’m just too young to keep good love from going wrong

There’s no time for hatred

Only questions

What is Love ? Where is Happiness ?

What is Life ? Where is Peace ?

When will I find the strength to bring me release ?

SCREAMING DOWN FROM

HEAVEN

"Eternal Life"

Eternal Life is now on my trail Got my red glitter coffin, man, just need one last nail While all these ugly gentlemen play out their foolish games there's a flaming red horizon that screams our names And as your fantasies are broken in two Did you really think this bloody road would pave the way for you? You better turn around and blow your kiss hello to life eternal, angel

Racist everyman, what have you done? Man, you've made a killer of your unborn son... Crown my fear your king at the point of a gun All I want to do is love everyone...

And as your fantasies are broken in two did you really think this bloody road would pave the way for you? You better turn around and blow your kiss hello to life eternal

There's no time for hatred, only questions Where is love, where is happiness, what is Life, where is peace?

When will I find the strength to bring me release? And tell me where is the love in what your prophet has said? Man, It sounds to me just like a prison for the walking dead And I've got a message for you and your twisted hell

You better turn around and blow your kiss goodbye to life eternal angel... … ANGEL

And in this orchard there was a holdThat was hanged with purple and goldAnd in that hold there was a bedAnd it was hanged with chords of red

And on this bed there lyeth a knightHis wound is bleeding day and nightBy his bedside kneeleth a maidAnd she weepeth both night and day

FORGET HER While this town is busy sleeping all the noise has died away I walk the streets to stop my weeping ‘cause she'll never change her ways

don't fool yourself she was heartache from the moment that you met her my heart feels so still as I try to find the will to forget her somehow oh I think I’ve forgotten her now

her love is a rose pale and dying dropping her petals and men unknownall full of wine the world before her was sober with no place to go

don't fool yourself she was heartache from the moment that you met her my heart is frozen still cause I try to find the will to forget her somehow she's somewhere out there now

oh my tears are falling down as I try to forget her love was a joke from the day that we met all of the words all of the men all of my pain when I think back to when remember her hair as it shone in the sun the smell of the bed when I knew what she'd done tell yourself over and over you wont ever need her again

But don't fool yourself she was heartache from the moment that you met her oh my heart is frozen still as I try to find the will to forget her somehow she's out there somewhere now

Oh ,she was heartache from the day that I first met her my heart is frozen still as I try to find the will to forget you somehow cause I know you're somewhere out there right now

Well I heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do ya? Well it goes like this The fourth, the fifth The minor fall and the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah , Hallelujah , Hallelujah

Well Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you she tied you to her kitchen chair And she broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah , Hallelujah , Hallelujah

Well baby I've been here beforeI've seen this room and I've walked this floorI used to live alone before I knew ya I've seen your flag on the marble archLove is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah , Hallelujah , Hallelujah

HALLELUJAH …

LAST GOODBYE – JEFF BUCKLEY

This is our last goodbyeI hate to feel the love between us die.

But it's overJust hear this and then I'll go:You gave me more to live for,More than you'll ever know.

Well, this is our last embrace,Must I dream and always see your face?

Why can't we overcome this wall?Baby, maybe it's just because I didn't know you at all.

Kiss me, please kiss me,But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation.

Oh, you know it makes me so angry 'cause I know that in time

I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye.

Did you say, "No, this can't happen to me"?And did you rush to the phone to call?

Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind saying, "Maybe, you didn't know him at all,

you didn't know him at all,oh, you didn't know"?

Well, the bells out in the church tower chime,Burning clues into this heart of mine.

Thinking so hard on her soft eyes, and the memoriesOffer signs that it's over, it's over.

I lost myself on a cool damp nightI gave myself in that misty lightWas hypnotized by a strange delightUnder a lilac tree

I made wine from the lilac treePut my heart in its recipeIt makes me see what I want to seeAnd be what I want to be

When I think more than I want to thinkDo things I never should doI drink much more that I ought to drinkBecause it brings me back you

Lilac wine is sweet and heady,Like my loveLilac wine, I feel unsteady,Like my love

Listen to me, I cannot see clearlyIsnt that she, coming to meNearly here

Lilac wine is sweet and heady,Wheres my loveLilac wine, I feel unsteady,Wheres my love

Listen to me, why is everything so hazyIsnt that she, or am I just going crazy, dear

Lilac wine, I feel unready for my loveFeel unready, for my love.

LILAC WINE

Lady All the troubles are my fright, I disgust you Feel the power you cut the truth into you Why do you think I'd hidden out on this rely I could kiss you With lines of escape in my mouth

Please let me bring back these gifts of mine to the womanHis eyes shined on my back as I slept and knew you You didn't leave it all You made an even call My belly released the stars And tears between the scars. Ooooh We're where we belong It should end here Until the end of time Beyond the moment That ends our bondage I am your failed husband contender I'm your loan shark of bliss.

This dream you've ridden on Turns your world to explosions You need to be alone To heal this bleeding stone Now, smell the rain of London it still insists That we beg for our purity As if we are pure in the rain of our contentment As if I can think of this no more.
