Lover, You Should’ve Come Over (Live At Sin-é) lyrics
by Édith Piaf
[Verse 1]
Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water
And maybe I'm too young to keep good love from going wrong
But tonight you are on my mind, so you never know
You never know
[Verse 2]
Every inch of me is full of pain, oh you should've come over
My broken bones can smell the rain and they're aching to be covered
And the rain, I wanna come down fast like kisses on my skin
But it passed me by and it left me dry
Oh, lover, you should've come over
[Verse 3]
Broken down and hungry for your love, with no way to feed it
Where're you tonight, child you know how much I need you
Too young to hold on and too old to break free and run
[Chorus]
Oh, too old to run
Oh, lover, you should've come over
Will I wait? Will I burn?
Will I ever see your sweet return?
Oh lover you should've come over
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 4]
Lonely is the room, the bed is made
Open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one who wants you with him
[Bridge]
My body turns and yearns for a sleep that will never come
It's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over, all my riches for her smiles
When I slept so soft against her
It's never over, all my blood for the memories
And the sweetness of her laughter
It's never over, she's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever
Or maybe I'm too young
To keep good love from going wrong
[Chorus]
Oh lover, you should've come over
Will I wait? Will I burn?
Will I ever see your return?
Oh lover you should've come over, over, over
