Lover, You Should've Come Over (Live At Columbia Records Radio Hour, New York, NY, June 4, 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
