O I never asked to be your mountain
I never asked to fly
Remember when you came to me
And told me of his lies
You didn't understand my love
You don't know why I try
And the rain was falling on that day
And damn the reason why
The Flying Pisces sails for time
And tells me of my child
Wrapped in bitter tales and heartache
He begs for just a smile
O he never asked to be her mountain
He never asked to fly
And through his eye he comes his love
And tells her not to cry
She says, "Your scoundrel father flies
With a dancer called a queen
And with her stolen cards he plays
And laughs, but never wins"
O the child dreams to be his hands
In the counting of the rain
But only barren breasts he feels
For her milk will never drain
As I die I can't remember
Where I saw the rain:
Could it be that her laughter
Drove me down again?
Charming dancer will you stop,
Stop and talk to me?
Is there someone else you feel
In your dreams? you will, you see:
In midnight gazes
I've found you far from me:
If you lead me on
Please leave me down
O Flying Flying Fish
Please flutter by my door:
Yes you can drink my lies
If first you read my eyes:
Each one is titled
"I'm drowning back to you":
I can't swim your waters
And you can't walk my lands:
I'm sailing all my sins
And I'm climbing all my fears
And soon now I'll fly
O I never asked to be your mountain
I never asked to fly
Remember when you came to me
And told me of his lies
You didn't understand my love
You don't know why I try
And the rain was falling on that day
And that's the reason why
Sweet lover, will you come back
And love me for a while?
Please take my hand
Leave all your fears behind
I've been gone too long
Now I'm home to stay
Please don't leave me
Again this way
Please come home
The lyrics I NEVER ASKED TO BE YOUR MOUNTAIN of TIM BUCKLEY is also present in the album Goodbye and hello (1967)
Timothy Charles Buckley, noto semplicemente come Tim Buckley, è stato un cantautore e musicista statunitense nato a Hillside, New Jersey, il 14 febbraio 1947. Considerato uno dei pionieri del cantautorato sperimentale degli anni '60 e '70, Buckley ha lasciato un'eredità musicale unica per la sua voce potente e melodica, le sue composizioni poetiche e l'uso innovativo di strumenti acustici ed elettronici. La sua musica è stata influenzata da diverse fonti, tra cui il folk americano, il jazz e la psichedelia. Buckley ha pubblicato sei album in studio durante la sua carriera, tra cui "Starsailor" (1970), considerato uno dei suoi capolavori, e "Greetings from L.A.". La sua musica è stata riscoperta negli anni '90 e continua ad essere apprezzata da un pubblico sempre più ampio per la sua originalità e profondità emotiva. Buckley è morto a Los Angeles il 29 giugno 1975 all'età di 28 anni.
