Jeff Buckley – Last Goodbye

This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
But it’s over
Just hear this, and then I’ll go:
You gave me more to live for
More than you’ll ever know.

Well this is our last embrace
Must I dream and always see your face?
Why can’t we overcome this wall?
Baby maybe it is just because I didn’t know you at all.

Kiss me, please kiss me
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation.
Oh, you know it makes me so angry ’cause I know that in time
I’ll only make you cry
This is our last goodbye.

Did you say, “No, this can’t happen to me!”
And did you rush to the phone to call?
Was there a voice, unkind, in the back of your mind
Saying, “Maybe,
“You didn’t know him at all,
you didn’t know him at all,
oh, you didn’t know.”

Well, the bells out in the church tower chime,
Burning clues into this heart of mine.
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes, and the memories
Offer signs that it’s over, it’s over.
