"SWEET SURRENDER"
TIM BUCKLEY 



Now you want to know the reason
Why I cheated on you
Well I had to be a hunter again
This little man had to try
To make love feel new again
'Cause there's just a few things honey
I'm not old enough to do for you
You just never care to show me
Showed him how to tango
And when they tangoed it'd send their hearts a flutter
Young and tender
Seemed to surrender in so sweet surrender
In sweet surrender
Ahh sweet surrender to love
But now you're gonna go out and get yourself
A reputation
But I'm gonna have to show you where to start
And then you're gonna bring back your little reputation
And prove to me what I could not prove to you

"HALLELUJAH"
JEFF BUCKLEY  




Well I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this:
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
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 ya
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
Hallelujah
But baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
You know, I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do ya
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah


"GRACE"
JEFF BUCKLEY  



There's the moon asking to stay
Long enough for the clouds to fly me away
Oh, it's my time coming, I'm not afraid, afraid to die
My fading voice sings of love
But she cries to the clicking of time, oh
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
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
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Fire
Oh
Ooh, ooh, ah
And I feel that I'm drownin' my name
So easy to know
And forget with this kiss
I'm not afraid to go but it goes so slow, oh
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire, wait in the fire, oh
Oh, wait in the fire
Wai-wai-wait
Wait in the fire, wait in the fire
Wait

"THE RIVER"
TIM BUCKLEY




I live by the river
And I hide my house away
Then just like the river
I can change my ways
Oh, if you come to love me
You would stay forever
Inside my heart
Inside my dreams
And time will fade
In time we'll love
In the street we walk as beggars
In the alley faithless kings
Ah, but it's the truth of life
That chains us in between
Those lost moments we steal
To keep our love alive
And our prize so tired after all the pain
And time will fade
In time we'll love

"I MUST HAVE BEEN BLIND"
TIM BUCKLEY



Here I am believin' words again
Here I am tryin' to find your love again
Here I am down on my knees again
Prayin' for a love
That we used to know
Both of us know
How hard it is to love
And let it go
Both of us know
How hard it is to go on living that way
When so few understand what it means
To fall in love
And so few know how hard it is to live without it
I must have been blind
I must have been blind
Lord, I must have been blind
To hold something real
And not believe it
To live in her life
And never trustin'
To give all you know and never feel it
To hold back each day
Until it dies away
Both of us know
How hard it is to love
And let it go
Both of us know
How hard it is to go on
Living that way
When so few undersand what it means
To fall in love
And so few know how hard it is to live without it
I must have been blind
I must have been blind
Lord, I must have been blind

"LOVE FROM ROOM 109 AT THE 
ISLANDER (ON PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY)" 
TIM BUCKLEY 




I was lost without a song without a melody
You came into my hotel life
You made my room a home
Ah now, mama, don't you know what you done
Ah, you made the sunshine in the city
Oh, you warmed my heart
You changed an old man filled with pity
Back to a child again
Ah now, mama, can't you see what you done
So tell me darlin' if the feeling's wrong
Don't waste another day
Lord, the saddest thing I've ever known
Was to watch it die away
Ah now, mama, don't you lie don't you lie
Oh, how can my giving find the rhythm and the time of you
Unless you sing your songs to me
The smell of your sweet skin does entangle my dream
Oh may I stand here awhile living your smile
Oh, how could you ever know what you've done
You warmed my heart when I was so all alone
But all I have to give
Are my dreams of coming and going forever
Inside the rivers of time you'll find me waiting
For you to find peace in your mind
So we can love again
I feel what you feel,
If you feel what you feel,
And I see what you see,
If you see what you see,
So it goes on and on
On it goes, on and on
It's my heart and your heart,
It's our hearts together,
You sing and I'll bring,
We'll both love together,
And all I know is let it grow
All you'll find is peace of mind.


"DREAM LETTER"
TIM BUCKLEY




Lady time fly away
I've been thinking 'bout my yesterday
Oh, please listen darlin' to my empty prayers
Sleep inside my dreams tonight
All I need to know tonight are you and my child
Oh, is he a soldier or is he a dreamer?
Is he mama's little man?
Does he help you when he can?
Or does he ask about me?
Just like a soldier boy
I been out fighting wars
That the world never knows about
But I never win them loud
There's no crowds around me
But when I get to thinkin'
'Bout the old days
When love was here to stay
I wonder if we'd ever tried
Oh, what I'd give to hold him.

"BUZZIN' FLY"
TIM BUCKLEY 



Just like a buzzin' fly
I come into your life
Now I float away
Like honey in the sun
Was it right or wrong
I couldn't sing that song anyway
Oh, but darlin'
Now I remember
How the sun shown down
And how it warmed your prayin' smile
When all the love was there
You're the one I talk about
You're the one I think about
Everywhere I go
And sometimes honey
In the mornin'
Lord, I miss you so
That's how I know I found a home
That's how I know I found a home
Oh, hear the mountains singing
Lord, I can hear them ringing, darlin',
Out your name
And tell me if you know
Just how the river flows
Down to the sea
Now I wanna know
Everything about you
I wanna know
Everything about you
What makes ya smile
What makes ya wild
What makes ya love me this way
Darlin' I wanna know
Darlin' I wanna know
You're the one I talk about
You're the one I think about
Everywhere I go
And sometimes honey
In the mornin'
Lord, I miss you so
That's how I know I found a home
That's how I know I found a home
A-walkin' hand in hand
And all along the sand
A seabird knew your name
He knew your love was growin'
Lord, I think it knows it's flowin'
Thru you and me
Ah, tell me darlin'
When I should leave you,
Ah, tell me darlin'
I don't want to grieve you...
Just like a buzzin' fly
I come into your life
Now I float away
Like honey in the sun
Was it right or wrong
I couldn't sing that song anyway
Oh, but darlin'
Now I remember
How the sun shown down
And how it warmed your prayin' smile
When all the love was there
You're the one I talk about
You're the one I think about
Everywhere I go
And sometimes honey
In the mornin'
Lord, I miss you so...

"SONG SLOWLY SONG"
TIM BUCKLEY 



With your beautiful hair
And your sixteen years
You kissed me as I lay still
If I can see you never,
Then I'll sleep forever
All my lonely love to kill.
"SONG OF THE MAGICIAN"
TIM BUCKLEY 





When I sing I can't bring everything on the wing
Flying down from dizzy air
To the ground because I care
You will be love and your love will live
When I smile I beguile all the while every mile
As I walk across the sky
Of the clockwork of your eye
You will be love and your love will live
Casting spells from the well I can tell you the bells
Listen to my magic voice
Learn the tune of children's toys
You will be love and your love will live
When I die do not cry hear my sigh passing by
After I have turned to win
I will try to help you then
You will be love and your love will live

"ONCE I WAS"
TIM BUCKLEY




Once I was a soldier
And I fought on foreign sands for you
Once I was a hunter
And I brought home fresh meat for you
Once I was a lover
And I searched behind your eyes for you
And soon there'll be another
To tell you I was just a lie
And sometimes I wonder
Just for a while
Will you ever remember me
And though you have forgotten
All of our rubbish dreams
I find myself searching
Through the ashes of our ruins
For the days when we smiled
And the hours that ran wild
With the magic of our eyes
And the silence of our words
And sometimes I wonder
Just for a while
Will you ever remember me
Ever remember me


"IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME"
TIM BUCKLEY




And it happens every time
Give my love, she leaves me behind
Yes, it happens every time
The sorrow makes me lose my mind
If she'd only be as true as I am
And listen to my love that's sayin'
Oh baby, won't you stay mine
Your lovin' makes me feel so fine
And someday baby you'll find
My love was gentle and kind
Someday you'll know that leaving me was wrong
But don't bother all that time is gone
And it happens every time
Now I know it's not worth the tryin'
So baby, don't turn around
Let my tears fall to the ground
If she'd only be as true as I am
And listen to my love that's sayin'

"AREN'T YOU THE GIRL"
TIM BUCKLEY 



Aren't you the girl who used to call me names?
Aren't you the girl who used to play at games?
Weren't you the one who said she'd never fall?
Now you're the one who's cryin' not so tall
Oh, I know what it's like
It's happened many times to me
Oh, do you ache inside
Do your eyes want a cry?
Do you want me back again?
Yes you're the one
Shall I throw you a crumb?
Shall I come and pass you by?
Would that make you want to try?
Shall I come and kiss your lips?
Would that make your rain slip?
Shall I come and dry your eyes?
Will that make you realize?
Oh, I know what it's like
It's happened many times to me
Oh, do you ache inside
Do your eyes want a cry?
Do you want me back again?
Aren't you the girl who used to call me names?
Aren't you the girl who used to play at games?
Weren't you the one who used to run and hide?
Now you're the one who's cryin' way inside
Oh, I know what it's like
It's happened many times to me
Oh, do you ache inside
Do your eyes want a cry?
Do you want me back again?

"I CAN'T SEE YOU"
TIM BUCKLEY



Summer princess, midnight maiden
When I first saw you I just breathed
Into your smile my past went fadin'
Inside your voice, my mind was sheathed
In lost lagoon, we waited, wadin'
Along the streets we went paradin'
Never looking back to where we'd been
Autumn temptress, sundown angel
Inside your blood you aren't so young
I came to you a loving vandal
And heard your heart and touched your tongue
Day became a lighted candle
Sky fell down beneath your sandal
In your eye I began to spin
Winter harlot, moontime lover
I can't speak when I feel this way
Don't keep your feelings undercover
Tell me what you want today
Don't leave me in the air to hover
Sing it out don't make me suffer
Don't be ashamed love is no sin
Springtime woman, sunrise girl
I am hiding behind the sea
Trick or treat, the Hallowe'en world
Hide and seek but you can't catch me
I won't chase you until you hurl
Your wing to me, and make me twirl
You're alive underneath my skin

"COME WANDER WITH ME"
BONNIE BEECHER 

 

 He said, "Come wander with me, love
Come wander with me
Away from this sad world
Come wander with me"

[Verse 1]
He came from the sunset
He came from the sea
He came from my sorrow
And can love only me

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Oh, where is the wanderer?
Who wandered this way
He's passed on his wandering
And will never go away

[Chorus]
Come wander with me, love
Come wander with me
Away from this sad world
Come wander with me

"LET'S GET TOGETHER"
JEFFERSON AIRPLANE 




Love is but a song we sing,
Fear a way we die.
You can make the mountains ring,
Hear the angels cry.
Tho' the dove is on the wing
You need not know why.
Hey, people now,
Smile on your brother.
Let me see you get together,
Love one another right now.
Some will come and some will go,
We shall surely pass.
When the wind that left us here,
Returns for us at last.
We are but a moment's sunlight,
Fading on the grass.
Hey, people now,
Smile on your brother.
Let me see you get together,
Love one another right now.
Hey, people now,
Smile on your brother.
Let me see you get together,
Love one another right now.
If you hear the song I'm singing,
You will understand.
You hold the key to love and fear,
All in your trembling hand.
One key unlocks them both, you know,
It's at your command.

"THE ROAD NOT TAKEN"
ROBERT FROST (1874-1963)


 Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, 
And sorry I could not travel both 
And be one traveler, long I stood 
And looked down one as far as I could 
To where it bent in the undergrowth; 

Then took the other, as just as fair, 
And having perhaps the better claim 
Because it was grassy and wanted wear, 
Though as for that the passing there 
Had worn them really about the same, 

And both that morning equally lay 
In leaves no step had trodden black. 
Oh, I kept the first for another day! 
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
 I doubted if I should ever come back. 

I shall be telling this with a sigh 
Somewhere ages and ages hence: 
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, 
I took the one less traveled by, 
And that has made all the difference.
