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
Baby, maybe it is just because I didn’t know you at all.
Kiss me, please,
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.»
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 memory
Of her sighs that, «it's over… it’s over…»
Jeff Buckley was a once in a lifetime artist.. If I could meet a woman who loved Grace as much as I do..I could love her until the end of time.Jeff you are missed and loved every day.
This song is too perfect ! I love Jeff , I love his voice , his letters, love everything about him . In my opinion he was the greatest lyricist of the 90s and will always remain (for me). Rest In Peace, Jeff. I'm still celebrating your life!
There's a tone to this I really dont think I've ever heard before. The way the guitar comes in, like off another planet, and then the bass... once it fully hits, it's like... what is this? Strumming arrogant like that.
And then he drops in, with that voice, so buried underneath:
Just take this, and then I'll go.
ya gave me more to live for
I guess he knew a kind of humility we didn't. That's how I prefer to think about it.
I named my daughter's middle name after this album. I can't wait to show her Jeff's music one day. One of the few artists that give me shivers. So much love for him
My auntie sadly died this week. She was amazing, she was always into the same music as me. I picked up a Cd one day and I asked who it was. She said Jeff buckley. When I ever hear this album I will think of her.
i´ve been listening to the best bands like: led zeppelin, jimi hendrix .... but first when i heard jeff buckley i instantly knew he possessed probably the best vocal range and the greatest color of his voice of all time !!!! orgasmic treasure
Under normal circumstances, it does not bother me that I have a pretty shitty singing voice. But then I hear this. I really really wish I could do this.

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
R.I.P. Jeff Buckley, Kurt Cobain, River Phoenix, Heath Ledger, Corey Haim, Brittany Murphy, Layne Staley, and all the other idols of my youth! I'll see you all in heaven one day! xD
