Jeff Buckley - Grace (1994)This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
But it’s over
Just hear this and then i’ll go
You gave me more to live for
More than you’ll ever know
This is our last embrace
Must I dream and always see your face
Why can’t we overcome this wall
Well, 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
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 memories
Offer signs that it’s over… it’s over
I used to feel fine
you were to be mine
I need direction
to take me to you
In my reality, you are my friend, my companion, and my buddy. Yet, in my dreams, you are my lover, my soul mate, and my girl. Why do you stir my emotions so? How can I get so emotional over a girl so far away? This love that I have for you seems so pure and yet so unnatural. Why do I carry such heavy emotions for someone who sees me as a friend? Your simple beauty is ever present due to your grace and sensitivity. Your long dark hair, thick and lustrous, rests neatly upon your shoulders. Your smooth and simple curves are aligned so well upon your tiny frame. Your warm, gentle smile soothes the torrid seas of my heart and soul. Your voice is as soft and mellow as angel harp strings. I am enchanted by your simple poise and charm. Your strength and resilience is amazing. How can someone so dainty can bear the weight of the world on such small shoulders? A lesser woman would be driven insane and yet, you continue to endure. The arrows of scorn from your parents and the impatient desires of men do not belay you from what is important, your self-respect and future. Your slender arms ache under the weight of heavy trays. Your legs and feet are sore from all the walking. Oh how I wish I could help carry your burden a little. I feel so helpless sometimes for the sheer fact that I am not close to you. I understand, that your heart belongs to another, yet if this was a different time and circumstance, I would love for us to be together. Yet, the Almighty doesn’t give man too much opportunity in the love department. You are in my prayers as well as my thoughts and dreams. I pray that you will keep your good judgment, that you will never leave me alone, and that you will always be my friend. I long for the day we meet face to face. I will introduce you to my world. To see simple beauty of Mother Nature. You could run and frolic in the field like the flower maiden I see in my dreams. To introduce you to my family and to their home cooking. I can’t seem to get you out of my mind, I think about you all-day and everyday. Even thought my love runs deep, I have nothing but the deepest respect for. Your friendship is more valuable than all my emotions are worth. As long as you are in my dreams, you will never be forgotten. Now as I lay myself down, I begin to see you in my eyes and I know it will be a sweet dream.
I’m so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
‘Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won’t leave me alone
These wounds won’t seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There’s just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I’d wipe away all of your tears
When you’d scream I’d fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
You used to captivate me
By your resonating life
Now I’m bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
These wounds won’t seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There’s just too much that time cannot erase
I’ve tried so hard to tell myself that you’re gone
But though you’re still with me
I’ve been alone all along
We’re drifting apart,
But I won’t give up, no
Wherever you are I belong
Love sings us a song
But we fail to sing along
Wherever you go I will follow
So please don’t let it
Please don’t let it go
And if you won’t let it I won’t let it go
Please
don’t let it
Please don’t let it go
And
if you won’t let it I won’t let it go
You
try to be strong
You’ve tried it oh so long
Whatever I do I do it wrong
And love sings our song
So eager to sing along
Whatever you do I know it
So please don’t let it
Please
don’t let it go
Cause if you won’t let it I won’t let it go
Please don’t let it
Please don’t let it go
Cause if you won’t let it I won’t let it go
Don’t let go of life
Let
go of love
Let go of all we have
So
don’t let go of trust
Let go of lust
Let go of all we share
Love is a flame that can’t be tamed
And though we are it’s willing prey, my darling
We are not the ones to blame
Trust is a word all lovers know
The glorious art of staining souls, my darling
We
are not the ones to blame
The more we have the more we want
And the more it hurts our hearts, my baby
It
always ends up in tears
So keep on pretending
Our heaven is worth the waiting
Keep on pretending, it’s alright
So
keep on pretending
It will be the end of our craving
Keep on pretending
It’s alright
When doubts arise the game begins
The one we will never win, my baby
It always ends up in tears
So keep on pretending
Our heaven is worth the waiting
Keep on pretending, it’s alright
So keep on pretending
It will be the end of our craving
Keep on pretending
It’s
alright
Come on…
So keep on pretending
Our
heaven is worth the waiting
Keep on pretending, it’s alright
So keep on pretending
It
will be the end of our craving
Keep on pretending
It’s alright
Love is a flame that can’t be tamed
And though we are it’s willing prey, my darling
We are not the ones to blame
Just one look into your eyes
One look and I’m crying
’cause you’re so beautiful
Just one kiss and I’m alive
One kiss and I’m ready to die
’cause you’re so beautiful
Just one touch and I’m on fire
One touch and I’m crying
’cause you’re so beautiful
Just one smile and I’m wild
One smile and I’m ready to die
’cause you’re so beautiful
My darling
Oh you’re so beautiful
You’re so beautiful
Oh
my baby
You’re so beautiful
And you’re so beautiful
Oh
my darling
Oh my baby
And you’re so beautiful
I’m gonna simile like nothing’s wrong …
talk like everything is perfect …
act like its a dream …
and pretend nothing is hurting me …
’cause I’ll find my way..
I know you’ll wake up one day..
but it’ll be too late
How many times
Has it been
That you have given up
Everything
The love that you gained
Was it worth all the pain
Of letting go?
I’d like to feel
That what we have is real
Enough for me to do the same.
Don’t leave me lying here
Bedded in poisonous fear
That it’s not what we thought
Love can be misapprehension
So is it worth all this tension
For those moments of bliss?
I ask you these queries
In aim to calm my worries
That this is really love
Sometimes I stand
In a light so blinding
I forget darkness
and hold my breath
afraid
it may
all
be
a dream
i’ve been searching for you,
i heard a cry within my soul
i never had a yearning quite like this before
all of my life where have you been?
a sacred gift of heaven
