Tim Buckley

Although you've spoken many times before,
A sight of birth he leaves you by a door.
And now you know he doesn't understand.
And all you need is the warmth of his hand.

And if he'd smile your loving blood would dance,
One silent kiss leaves you in a trance.
And now you know you cannot live alone,
But you will find your future is unknown.
One day the questions rise.
On wings of chance you fly.

And on that day your laughs and tears will die,
And fall as free as seabirds climb the skies.
And you will love when love comes your way.
And when it comes there's nothing more to say.
And now you know he doesn't understand,
And now you know you don't need his hand.
One day the questions die,
On wings of chance you fly.

Well let me tell all you pretty women
One tiny word of advice
Tell you pretty woman
One tiny word of advice
Just do me one favor
Won't you understand your man

You gotta wake up in the mornin'
Keep your lovin' daddy by your side
Wake up in the mornin'
Keep your lovin' daddy by your side
Just do me one favor
Won't you please understand your man

Well let me tell you, Miss Molly
Tell you 'bout my lovin' back home
I got a sweet little woman
You know that she'd never make me roam
She's the only woman that I know ever understand her man

She is the day that gives me time to live and ???? love my life.
Till nite comes on with sundown scythe to end the puzzle pantomime.
She is a day of love.

She is the day thru which I walk toward the bridge where she stands.
She is the air I breathe to sing, she is a smile without demands.

She is the bridge on which I wait to watch the river 'neath me flow.
All spinning, surging far below
???? ???? ?????
She is a bridge of love.

She is the day thru which I walk toward the bridge where she stands.
She is the air I breathe to sing, she is a smile without demands.

She is the air I breathe ?????
Awake, asleep in ??? calm.
A wind to wash my lifted palm,
A sky that calls me out to dance.
She is the air of love.

She is the day thru which I walk toward the bridge where she stands.
She is the air I breathe to sing, she is a smile without demands.

She is the smile that keeps me warm with matchless laughter, eyes ablaze.
A mischief mystery she plays upon the flute of early morn.
She is a smile of love.

She is the day thru which I walk toward the bridge where she stands.
She is the air I breathe to sing, she is a smile without demands.

You've got the untortured mind of a woman
Who has answered all the questions before.
You've got the free-givin' ways of a woman
Who has kicked all the heartache out the door.
And Jainie, don't you know?
Jainie, don't you know? I been tryin'
Jainie, don't you know?
Jainie, don't you know? I been tryin'

Yes, I truly love to be with you
If I wasn't with the one that I'm with.
Yes, I truly love to lie with you
If I didn't have to give what I give.
Jainie, don't you know?
Jainie, don't you know? I been tryin'
Jainie, don't you know?
Jainie, don't you know? I been tryin'

I brought to you my tired plans and weary faith to you
And with a smile you took me in and showed me love again
Now it has to be say good-bye or stayin', I don't know
But remember please I gave you love that's only mine to give
And Jainie, don't you know?
Jainie, don't you know? I been tryin'
Jainie, don't you know?
Jainie, don't you know? I been tryin'.

You came to me with fire inside
Your movements and your pride
And asking to be rescued from
The pain you had become

I tore apart the prison and I hid you in my hand
In the blue light of Christmas-time Santa Claus was kind

I wonder if you'll ever grow
Oh far enough to throw
Away the lies of no and yes
And love my quietness

Or will you only freeze and frown and lose what you have found?
In the white light of Easter seas'n will you live again?

Today the coin is in the air
And we are here and there
And where and when have caught us in
The web of violence

I pray to all the world as one that day will bring the sun
In the scarlet light of Valentine's our paper hearts are blind.

I've got ten thousand troubles, a million woes.
I got grief in my soul nobody knows.

I got heartaches, I got stingin' water fallin' out of the sky.
I got a long lost lover, got a reason to die.
I got ten thousand troubles, a million woes.
I got grief in my soul nobody knows.

I got sorrow.
I'm in a storm that'll spare no travelin' man.
I fear tomorrow.
Got a love that died long before it began.
I got ten thousand troubles, a million woes.
I got grief in my soul nobody knows.

Got a cold chain.
I got rain fallin' on my head from above.
I got a bad pain.
I got a gal don't know the meaning of love.
I got ten thousand troubles, a million woes.
I got grief in my soul nobody knows.

I got heartaches, I got stingin' water fallin' out of the sky.
I got a long lost lover, got a reason to die.
I got ten thousand troubles, a million woes.
I got grief in my soul nobody knows.
