Lyrics for Lover, You Should've Come Over - Live at Cabaret Metro, Chicago, IL, May 13, 1995

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 Maybe I'm too young To keep good love from going wrong But tonight you're on my mind so You'll never know 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 Well, sometimes a man gets carried away When he feels like he should be having his fun But much too blind to see the damage he's done Yeah, 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? Oh oh oh, lover, you should've come over 'Cause it's not too late Mm 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 won't ever come It's never over My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder Yeah, 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 is a tear that hangs inside my soul forever (mm) Ah, but maybe I'm just too young To keep good love from going wrong Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh lover, you should've come over, yeah yeah, yes, yes I feel too young to hold on I'm much too old to break free and run Too deaf, dumb, and blind To see the damage I've done The sweet lover, you, you should've come over Oh, love, well I've waited for you Lover, lover, lover Lover, love, lover Love, love, love, love, love Lover, you should've come over If it's not too late
