Everybody
Here Wants You
Jeff Buckley
Sketches (For My Sweetheart the Drunk) (1998)
Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss
A singing smile
Coffee smell and lilac skin
Your flame in me
Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss
A singing smile
Coffee smell and lilac skin
Your flame in me
I’m only here for this moment
I know everybody here wants you
I know everybody here thinks he
needs you
I’ll be waiting right here just to
show you
How our love will blow it all away
Hmm, such a thing of wonder in this crowd
I’m a stranger in this town
You’re free with me
And our eyes locked in downcast
love
I sit here proud
Even now you’re undressed in
your dreams with me
Oh, I’m only here for this moment
I know everybody here wants you
I know everybody here thinks he needs you
I’ll be waiting right here just to show you
How our love will blow it all away
I know the tears we cried
Have dried on yesterday
The sea of fools has parted for us
There’s nothing in our way
My love
Don’t you see, don’t you see?
You’re just the torch to
put the flame to all our guilt and shame
And I’ll rise like an ember
in your name
I know I, I know I
I know everybody here wants you
I know everybody here thinks he needs
you
I’ll be waiting right here just to show you
Oh
let me show you
That
love can rise, rise just like embers
Love
can taste like the wine of the ages, oh babe,
And I know they all looks so good from a distance
But
I tell you I’m the one
I know everybody here,
well, thinks he needs you
Think he needs you
And
I’ll be waiting right here just to show you.
