Grace
Jeff Buckley Lyrics

Walking to the bright lights in sorrow
Oh drink a bit of wine we both might go tomorrow
Oh my love

And the rain is falling and I believe my time has come
It reminds me of the pain I might leave, leave behind,
Wait in the fire, wait in the fire
Wait in the fire, wait in the fire

And I feel them drown my name
So easy to know and forget with this kiss
I'm not afraid to go but it goes so slow
Wait in the fire, wait in the fire, oh oh yea oh oh oh yeah unh
Wait, wait, wait in the fire, wait in the fire
Wait in the fire, wait ah uh unh ah

Jeff wrote lyrics inspired by his saying goodbye to his girlfriend at the airport on a rainy day, and the melody came naturally. In Buckley's words Read Full Bio"Grace" is the title track from Jeff Buckley's first album Grace (1994). It was the album's first single, and was also released as a video. The song showcases Jeff Buckley's vocal range and singing skills.

The song was based on an instrumental song called "Rise Up To Be" written by Buckley's collaborator, Gary Lucas. Jeff wrote lyrics inspired by his saying goodbye to his girlfriend at the airport on a rainy day, and the melody came naturally. In Buckley's words, "(It's about) not feeling so bad about your own mortality when you have true love."

Buckley invited Lucas to play on the album, along with "Mojo Pin"; two songs that Lucas had created the main riffs for, and Buckley had expanded upon, making up the "Grace" heard on the album, and earlier on Songs to No One 1991–1992; These songs were prominent in gigs around 1991 onwards.

Check out the amazing lyrics:

There's the moon asking to stay
Long enough for the clouds to fly me away

Oh, it's my time coming, I'm not afraid, afraid to die

My fading voice sings of love

But she cries to the clicking of time, oh

Wait in the fire

Wait in the fire

Wait in the fire

Wait in the fire

Fire

And she weeps on my arm

Walking to the bright lights in sorrow

Oh, drink a bit of wine we both might go tomorrow

Oh, my love

And the rain is falling and I believe

My time has come

It reminds me of the pain I might leave

Leave behind

Wait in the fire

Wait in the fire

Wait in the fire

Wait in the fire

Fire

Oh

Ooh, ooh, ah

And I feel that I'm drownin' my name

So easy to know

And forget with this kiss

I'm not afraid to go but it goes so slow, oh

Wait in the fire

Wait in the fire, wait in the fire, oh

Oh, wait in the fire

Wai-wai-wait

Wait in the fire, wait in the fire

Wait

Lucid Boom

"long enough for the clouds to fly my away "- it was cloudy weather in memphis the day he gone missing

"my fading voice sings of love"- him singing 'whole lotta love' as he stepped deeper

"but she cries to the clicking.. of time.." could be his mother agonizing for her son missing for 6 days

this song even unintentionally , describes his passing away from this life.. with grace of course
Jeff wrote the lyrics after saying goodbye to his girlfriend at the airport one rainy day. "It's about not fearing death, or fearing any of those countless slings and arrows that you suffer sometimes on this Earth, because somebody loves you," he said. "You're not afraid to go."

"And it's just about life sometimes being so long," Buckley added. "At the time I was anticipating leaving Los Angeles for New York. So I was waiting to go. I'm not afraid to go, I'm not afraid to die, I'm not afraid to go away from this place or from any place but it just goes so slow. And I had somebody who loved me in New York. A lot. And it was amazing. It still is
he also stated "Grace is what matters, in anything... That's a quality I admire quite greatly. It keeps you from reaching for the gun too quickly, keeps you from destroying things too foolishly. It keeps you alive and it keeps you open for more understanding."

it it's hauntingly beautiful how this song copliments both life and death... it's the feeling of not fearing to go, we all get back to the universe someday anyways..so drink a bit of wine for this moment and live in fire and grace

There's the moon asking to stay
Long enough for the clouds to fly me away
Well it's my time coming, I'm not afraid, afraid to die
My fading voice sings of love,
But she cries to the clicking of time, oh, time.
Wait in the fire, wait in the fire
Wait in the fire, wait in the fire
And she weeps on my arm
Walking to the bright lights in sorrow
Oh drink a bit of wine we both might go tomorrow
Oh my love
And the rain is falling and I believe my time has come
It reminds me of the pain I might leave, leave behind,
Wait in the fire, wait in the fire
Wait in the fire, wait in the fire

When I smoke too many cigarettes it makes me sad because I can’t do it, but when I can I do it at full volume, it’s like a rush of adrenaline that is sooo strong and powerful, it’s better than any drug.

Both of Jeff Buckley's parents were musicians. His mom was a classically trained musician and his father was a rock and folk musician who died at 28 of a heroin overdose. He grew up playing piano and guitar and singing from a young age. That's why he has such an amazing voice and why he has such a huge range.

He appeared and shone so brightly with such force bedazzling those who were lucky to witness him at his prominence but only existed for a brief period before disappearing back into the eternal beyond while people were left scratching their heads in disbelief wondering what exactly had just graced the sky.

If I were tasked to sum up his music, his spirit, his emotion and his passion with one word it would be...

Grace is probably my favorite song of all time, every single detail in the recording has a special place and a reason to exist, obviously starting with Jeff’s voice (that goes from almost whispering in the beginning to almost screaming in a super high note at the end), the structure of the chords (the tension that creates and then resolving) and melodies, the power and rhythm of bass and drums (even the toms are perfectly toned and miked, please pay attention to that), the Magical Guitarness of Gary Lucas that creates a mysterious kind of background, and the strings arrangement (specially in the second verse), the lyrics and its deep meanings, and how everything merges together forming a beautiful masterpiece.

I was squished into the backseat of the car as it twisted and turned up hairpin bends going up the hill to the cottage which was perched at the top of it. My dad would play this song and for me it symbolises the excitement of going to see my grandparents, of racing up hairpin bends in the dark, all you could see was what the headlights illuminated which was literally just tufts of grass at the roadside and the smell of leather from my dad's new car was in my nostrils. Such an amazing experience. I hear this song and it's like joy to me.

@Jixie Dye i liked it. No need to keep it brief and your description is beautiful. I found it weird because this song to me is so different but I totally appreciate your description. It’s funny how music means different things to people.

I loved reading this, because I remember my Mum always playing Jeffs CD on the way to school and myself and my siblings loved it! I was 11 and I have always loved his music until now. (I'm 28).

My uncle Gary Lucas played guitar on this record. I recently invented a guitar fretboard invention and received a fully issued utility patent. Figured Jeff was looking out in some way as he did FretCorner Vibrato in his hallelujah Chicago Performance. It creates infinite sustain as the FretCorner plucks the note. Just as Jeff’s music has infinite sustain in history. Pretty epic. Yah Gonna keep grinding on it!

I cracked the mystery: This song is as intense as relaxed.

Cinnabread

@Hinarf Narfy It actually does make quite a bit of sense. While you hear how heavy the instrumentation is, especially the guitar, you can hear how gentle his voice sounds towards the beginning of the song. Overall it would lean more towards being heavy, but this song is incomplete without having the gentler side of the vocals as well. I find it easiest to pick up in this video here if you haven't seen it, skip to around 50 seconds

As much as I love Buckley and agree on everything said about this dude, we forget too much how good were his musicians, just listen to the drums, so well played !

It's just sad that this guy's most popular song is a cover when his compositions are so fucking fantastic...

Making a real good cover isn't an easy job and they mastered it. I'm grateful for that. Covers or not Jeff and his musicians left a short but beautiful legacy.

Tbf Jeff was highly skilled at taking a song and making it his own as well, which is just as good! just listen to Lilac Wine, brilliance

I love this song, but Gary Lucas wrote the guitar riff.

I don't mind. Leonard Cohen's original wasn't too popular back in the day; Jeff Buckley, using John Cale's cover as a template, totally made that song his own and several years later after he died it became his first number one hit and now everyone knows it; at least the melody but possibly not the artist. It led to tons of covers after him. You can almost entirely thank Jeff for that.

The first time I ever heard this song was when I was giving a co-worker a chair massage at work. She had this playing on her computer at a very low volume. Gave me chills even though I could hardly hear it. Still does to this day.
