Lyrics for I Never Asked To Be Your Mountain by Jeff Buckley:
| | | Artist: | Jeff Buckley |
| | Album: | Covers | | Track: | I Never Asked To Be Your Mountain | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 87 | | | | Lyrics: | o i never asked to be your mountain
i never asked to fly
remember when you came to
me
and told me of his lies
you didn't understand my love
you don't know why i
try
and the rain was falling on that day
and damn the reason why
the flying
pisces sails for time
and tells me of my child
wrapped in bitter tales and
heartache
he begs for just a smile
o he never asked to be her mountain
he never asked
to fly
and through his eye he comes his love
and tells her not to cry
she says,
"your scoundrel father flies
with a dancer called a queen
and with her stolen cards he
plays
and laughs, but never wins"
o the child dreams to be his hands
in the counting
of the rain
but only barren breasts he feels
for her milk will never drain
as i
die i can't remember
where i saw the rain:
could it be that her laughter
drove me
down again?
charming dancer will you stop,
stop and talk to me?
is there someone else
you feel
in your dreams? you will, you see:
in midnight gazes
i've found you far from
me:
if you lead me on
please leave me down
o flying flying fish
please
flutter by my door:
yes you can drink my lies
if first you read my eyes:
each one is
titled
"i'm drowning back to you":
i can't swim your waters
and you can't walk my
lands:
i'm sailing all my sins
and i'm climbing all my fears
and soon now i'll
fly
o i never asked to be your mountain
i never asked to fly
remember when you
came to me
and told me of his lies
you didn't understand my love
you don't know why i
try
and the rain was falling on that day
and that's the reason why
sweet lover,
will you come back
and love me for a while?
please take my hand
leave all your fears
behind
i've been gone too long
now i'm home to stay
please don't leave
me
again this way
please come home | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
