| Lyrics: This is our last goodbye I hate to feel the love between us die But it's over Just hear this and then i'll go You gave me more to live for More than you'll ever know This is our last embrace Must I dream and always see your face Why can't we overcome this wall Well, maybe it's just because i didn't know you at all Kiss me, please kiss me But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation You know it makes me so angry 'cause i know that in time I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye Did you say 'no, this can't happen to me,' And 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 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 memories Offer signs that it's over... it's over | Notes: Supposedly inspired by a relationship Jeff had in Los Angeles with an older German woman, possibly a nurse. 'Reportedly, it's about... some people, they get into affairs that they know in their bodies won't last, and are sabotaged by their identity alone, you know, as soon as they start, but they go for it anyway. People are very talented at falling out, torture. Like truffles in the forest. And they eat them. a lot. But I was 22, she was 37, it wasn't gonna work out.' -- Jeff Buckley (Canadian TV-show, May 1995) less relevant quotes: 'This is fag rock for straight people.' -- Jeff Buckley (Le Spectrum, Montreal, Canada, 1995-05-27) 'Dedicated to two lesbian lovers who broke up.' -- Jeff Buckley (Sandigham Hotel, Perth, Australia, 1996-02-25) 'This is a song for Chris Dowd.
