Jeff Buckley - I Never Asked to Be Your Mountain слова песни
(t.buckley)Originally performed by tim buckley in goodbye and hello (1967). jeff performed it live in his exhibition for greetings from tim buckley, a tribute concert organized by hal willner that took place at st.anns church, new york, on april 26 1991.Oh I never asked to be your mountainI never asked to flyRemember when you came to meAnd told me of his liesYou didnt understand my loveYou dont know why I tryAnd the rain was falling on that dayAnd damn the reason whyThe flying pisces sails for timeAnd tells me of my childWrapped in bitter tales and heartacheHe begs for just a smileOh he never asked to be her mountainHe never asked to flyAnd through his eye he comes his loveAnd tells her not to cryShe says, "your scoundrel father fliesWith a dancer called a queenAnd with her stolen cards he playsAnd laughs, but never wins"Oh the child dreams to be his handsIn the counting of the rainBut only barren breasts he feelsFor her milk will never drainAs I die I cant rememberWhere I saw the rain:Could it be that her laughterDrove me down again? Charming dancer will you stop,Stop and talk to me? Is there someone else you feelIn your dreams? you will, you see:In midnight gazesIve found you far from meIf you lead me onPlease leave me downOh flying flying fishPlease flutter by my doorYes you can drink my liesIf first you read my eyesEach one is titled"im drowning back to you"I cant swim your watersAnd you cant walk my landsIm sailing all my sinsAnd Im climbing all my fearsAnd soon now Ill flyOh I never asked to be your mountainI never asked to flyRemember when you came to meAnd told me of his liesYou didnt understand my loveYou dont know why I tryAnd the rain was falling on that dayAnd thats the reason whySweet lover, will you come backAnd love me for a while? Please take my handLeave all your fears behindIve been gone too longNow Im home to stayPlease dont leave meAgain this wayPlease come home.
