D
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 memory
Of her sighs that, "it's over... it's over..."
and end on Em I think?

| I've wanted a Jeff Buckley song to be in a movie for a while, ever since I had heard Jeff for the first time a year and a half ago. I only regret that they cut the song off before Jeff starts singing. I hope that the song is included on the Vanilla Sky soundtrack, so that many more people can grow to love and appreciate the music of Jeff Buckley. | |

| This song is rumored to be on the soundtrack for that Tom Cruise movie 'Vanilla Sky'. Ive been wondering if Jeff would have wanted that or not. But I really miss Jeff a lot and I wish I had the chance to see him live. | |

| although this song is about the ending of a realtionship that has obvioulsy meant a lot to the person singning, i always find myself feeling incredibley happy afterwards, it seems as if they are both happy with it. my favourite line, "you gave me more to live for more than you'll ever know." | |

| this song is absolutely beautiful. it sounds sort of pathetic [because it is] but i fall asleep to this song. it reminds me of how it used to be the someone i care about a lot, and he pushed me away. i felt - i feel - so devastated, and sometimes i feel like this song is exactly what went wrong with us.. i really wish it wasn't, and somehow i sort of know that things can change, but i can't help but think.. aw man, i don't know. i don't even know why i'm saying all this. but this song, its beautiful. its just beautiful.. FAVORITE PART: "did you say, 'no this can't happen to me?' 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..'" | |
