Jeff Buckley

time takes care of the wound
or so i can believe
you had so much to give
i thought i couldn't see
gifts for bootheels to crush
promises, deceit
i had to send it away
to bring us back again
your eyes and body brighten
silent waters deep
your precious daughter in the
other room asleep
a kiss goodnight from every
stranger that i meet
i had to send it away
to bring us back again
morning theft
unpretender left,
ungraceful...
true self is what
brought you here to me
a place where we can
set this love free
friendship battered down by
useless history
