Phantasmagoria In Two Lyrics
If a fiddler played you a song, my love
And if I gave you a wheel
Would you spin for my heart and loneliness
Would you spin for my love
If I gave up all of my pride for you
And only loved you for now
Would you hide my fears and never say
"Tomorrow I must go"
Everywhere there's rain my love
Everywhere there's fear
If you tell me a lie I'll cry for you
Tell me of sin and I'll laugh
If you tell me of all the pain you've had
Oh I'll never smile again
Everywhere there's rain my love
Everywhere there's fear
I can plainly see that our parts have changed
Our sands are shifting around
Need I beg to you for one more day
To find your lonely love
Everywhere there's rain my love
Everywhere there's fear
And if I gave you a wheel
Would you spin for my heart and loneliness
Would you spin for my love
And only loved you for now
Would you hide my fears and never say
"Tomorrow I must go"
Everywhere there's fear
Tell me of sin and I'll laugh
If you tell me of all the pain you've had
Oh I'll never smile again
Everywhere there's fear
Our sands are shifting around
Need I beg to you for one more day
To find your lonely love
Everywhere there's fear

He's asking if she'll love him, will she take what he gives, will she stay forever, will she love him as he loves her? He's begging her to... but fears she won't. What a fantastic tune.
Love it. Love his music. Such a great talent lost so young. This song has already been explained (well). It's about true love and fear of loss. Buckley's vocals were amazing. And thankfully they were passed to his talented son, also lost young. This track is Buckley's best, in my opinion. I listen to it almost weekly...
this song gives me shivers up my spine...beautifully crafted, with the voice of an angel
what a song. listen to neil halsteads version of it too. it's almost as wonderful.
This song is amazing, with amazing lyrics.
The tune is so sensual... but, what are the lyrics about?
Thank you!
