Lyrics Tim Buckley

Tim Buckley

Cafe

I was just a curly-haired mountain boy

On my way passing through

I heard a voice whisper, "Good evening"

I turned to a shadow and saw her there

So all alone

She had those sad China eyes

That sang each time she smiled

Ah, but the song it seemed to linger

So long it deepened my love for her

Until she called me near

And then we waltzed to our heart beat

All around the sea was swaying

The breeze was praying

Never to leave her alone

Alone

Oh, the time just slipped on by

And with the time so did our love

Ah, her every move like a fever, just like a fever

Burnin' inside would not leave me
