Jeff Buckley Lyrics
 | | Son of cult singer-songwriter Tim Buckley, Jeff Buckley made a name for himself playing his own brand of passionate rock around New York's Lower East Side in the early 1990s. His most notable residency was at the cafe Sin-e on St. Mark's Street. His first record for Columbia, Live at Sin-e, won him a few fans outside of New York but it was the monster sound of Grace that made Buckley a (reluctant) star. The record came off a bit like Led Zeppelin fronted by Prince and showcased his songwriting skills on hits such as "Last Goodbye" and "So Real." Buckley may be remembered as much for his mysterious death as he will be for his deeply emotional brand of rock. On May 29, 1997, Buckley went swimming fully clothed in the Mississippi River. His body was found a few weeks later down the river at the age of thirty. His last record, Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk (1998) contains completed studio tracks he had been working on in Memphis at the time of his death as well as a collection of unreleased recordings compiled by his label and family. |

Jeff Buckley Song Lyric:
I Never Asked To Be Your Mountain
o i never asked to be your mountain
i never asked to fly
remember when you came to me
and told me of his lies
you didn't understand my love
you don't know why i try
and the rain was falling on that day
and damn the reason why
the flying pisces sails for time
and tells me of my child
wrapped in bitter tales and heartache
he begs for just a smile
o he never asked to be her mountain
he never asked to fly
and through his eye he comes his love
and tells her not to cry
she says, "your scoundrel father flies
with a dancer called a queen
and with her stolen cards he plays
and laughs, but never wins"
o the child dreams to be his hands
in the counting of the rain
but only barren breasts he feels
for her milk will never drain
as i die i can't remember
where i saw the rain:
could it be that her laughter
drove me down again?
charming dancer will you stop,
stop and talk to me?
is there someone else you feel
in your dreams? you will, you see:
in midnight gazes
i've found you far from me:
if you lead me on
please leave me down
o flying flying fish
please flutter by my door:
yes you can drink my lies
if first you read my eyes:
each one is titled
"i'm drowning back to you":
i can't swim your waters
and you can't walk my lands:
i'm sailing all my sins
and i'm climbing all my fears
and soon now i'll fly
o i never asked to be your mountain
i never asked to fly
remember when you came to me
and told me of his lies
you didn't understand my love
you don't know why i try
and the rain was falling on that day
and that's the reason why
sweet lover, will you come back
and love me for a while?
please take my hand
leave all your fears behind
i've been gone too long
now i'm home to stay
please don't leave me
again this way
please come home
