Grace

Jeff Buckley


There's the moon asking to stay
Long enough for the clouds to fly me away
Though it's my time coming, I'm not afraid, afraid to die
My fading voice sings of love,
But she cries to the clicking of time,
Of time

Wait in the fire...

And she weeps on my arm
Walking to the bright lights in sorrow
Oh drink a bit of wine we both might go tomorrow,oh my love
And the rain is falling and I believe
My time has come
It reminds me of the pain I might leave
Leave behind

Wait in the fire...

And I feel them drown my name
So easy to know and forget with this kiss
But I'm not afraid to go but it goes so slow

Wait in the fire...

Review in Poem by Dexter

Songwriters, modern day poets,
Emotive, lyrical and expressive,
They are the tender wordsmiths,
The ones that focus mood with verse.

The Buckley Divine Lineage,
From Tim to Jeff,
Tender vessels of introverted communication,
Voices of yearning voids.

Probing, exploring devotion,
Ebullient splendour,
A melancholy life,
A tragic exit.

Jeff Buckley is my all time favorite, and "Grace" has been in regular rotation for me for years. Thanks so much for highlighting him and his beautiful lyrics here. The poem review is touching and true. Lovely man, gone too soon.
