Strange Street Affair Under Blue

by Tim Buckley

Biography:

Timothy Charles Buckley III (February 14, 1947 – June 29, 1975) was an experimental vocalist and performer who incorporated jazz, psychedelia, funk, soul, and avant-garde rock, in a short career spanning the late 1960s and early 1970s, ending with his death at age 28 from an alcohol-heroin overdose.

Buckley often regarded his tenor voice as an instrument, a talent most noticeable on his albums Happy Sad, Lorca, and Starsailor. His first marriage was to Mary Guibert, with whom he had a child, musician Jeff Buckley.

Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

Verse 1:
G Cm
Just for you with your open hands
F G D G
Waiting for the touch of man
(G) Cm
Clutching with your blackened gloves
F G D G
You try to capture all the doves
G D G
That flee into
Cm G
The forest before you

Verse 2:
You wish to catch and cage me now
I wonder if you remember how
Hard it was to say the names
Of mirror dreams and cheated games
And on the wall
You framed your first lover

Verse 3:
Your form intrigues me with the glow
I'll remember you I know
Though I forgot to lock the chain
Around you with a prayer for rain
To bring the call
To drive you back into my bed

D
Ahhh....
She turns away
Telling me to follow for a while
Ahhh....
She waits

Cm D
You'd be touched if you would touch
Cm D
But you only reach and taunt
G Cm
Will my taste stay grey and blue
F G D G
If I try to turn from you
