Sad Song Karaoke

I like karaoke. I know a lot of people cringe at the idea of performing in front of people, and I myself need to be buzzing a bit to get up there, but I love captivating an audience. Especially when people don't expect me to be able to sing and then they hear a voice of an angel as my Grandmother used to say. What I don't like is that the song selections pretty much blow at karaoke nights down at the local watering hole. I would love nothing more than to be able to sing Lover, You Should Have Come Over by Jeff Buckley to share the magic of this incredible song with people who could use the diversion from the duet of Summer Nights butchered by 4 drunk sorority girls that is sure to be happening at a karaoke night at this very moment.

Two mentions of this song in one day. And the lyrics posted no less. What will you do next Skip?



Lover, You Should Have Come Over


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 never know

I'm broken down and hungry for your love with no way to feed it
Where are you tonight, you know how much I need it
Too young to hold on and too old to break free and run

Sometimes a man he gets carried away,
when he feels like he should be having his fun
And he's much too blind to see the damage he's done
'Cause 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 lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late

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 will never come

Sometimes a man he gets carried away,
when he feels like he should be having his fun
And he's much too blind to see the damage he's done
Cause 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 lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late
'Cause it's not too late
