Tim Buckley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Till night comes on with sundown scythe to end the puzzle pantomime.
She is a day of love.
She is the day through which I walk toward the bridge where she stands.
She is the air I breathe to sing, she is a smile without demands.
She is the bridge on which I wait to watch the river 'neath me flow.
All spinning, surging far below
???? ???? ?????
She is a bridge of love.
She is the day through which I walk toward the bridge where she stands.
She is the air I breathe to sing, she is a smile without demands.
She is the air I breathe ?????
Awake, asleep in ??? calm.
A wind to wash my lifted palm,
A sky that calls me out to dance.
She is the air of love.
She is the day through which I walk toward the bridge where she stands.
She is the air I breathe to sing, she is a smile without demands.
She is the smile that keeps me warm with matchless laughter, eyes ablaze.
A mischief mystery she plays upon the flute of early morn.
She is a smile of love.
She is the day through which I walk toward the bridge where she stands.
She is the air I breathe to sing, she is a smile without demands.

He is the day of love.

Wow! Amazing.
@GeneRogers-xl9um
Heard him in the 60s . I was blown away by his very amazing voice. So different from what I was hearing then. I actually got to see him perform at the Troubadour in West Hollywood before I went in the military.

Ah his voice just makes love to my soul... Many years ago, a discerning DJ in Johannesburg played Tim on the radio and I fell in love. He is so awesome. I discovered this song tonight because Sufjan Stevens also sings it. I did not know of either, the song or Stevens. That is a nice rendition... a bit like a homage to Tim. Thanks to youtube and all the fabulous people that post the not-so-run-of-the-mill music (too).
