Jeff Buckley - Killing Time Lyrics






I wait and wait
Sleepwalk the hourglass
This way and that
The pendulum swings
Yes there's plenty of time
Always time left to kill
Does time stand still
Or hurtle on by?

Let time unwind
Let all the cogs fall out
Let mans machines
Collapse and rust
Face down in the dust
I'll kiss no other lips
A life time of nothing
Condemned without you

Been so long here
I could die here
Lying by your side
But time won't claim me
Time and me only
I'm just killing time

If the sun went out
I wouldn't mind too much
Who needs the days
To trouble to fill?
If the moon didn't rise
I wouldn't be upset
Who needs moonshine
To cause tears to spill?

I've been so long here
I could lie here
Under dying sky
This thirst and hunger
Holds no wonder
I'm just killing time

I await your return
There's no other one

    Only Jeff...

    Only he could do it better than the original...

    This certainly isn't better than the original.

    I hope Siouxsie and Budgie got a copy of his covers of their song. Siouxsie should return the favor and do a cover of Jeff's "Grace".

    I heard an interview with Budgie recounting that, at the time he was told of the cover he hadn't heard of Jeff Buckley.

    How many mornings this CD was played over breakfast.
    A perfect cover! Happy to stumble upon it.
    Was this recorded at Sine or ???

    i usually do not like it when anyone covers Siouxsie Sioux but this is an exception. This is absolutely great.

    Love him. Love this song. Love that he covered The Creatures. Will always miss him.

    The song was originally recorded by The Creatures. "Killing Time" was written by Siouxsie Sioux and Budgie, circa 1989.
