Kind of fitting that Jeff would perform this song, as it was written by his father about abandoning Jff and his mum, Anyways, when doing this song live way back in 1991 at a tim buckley tribute gig, Jeff actually inserted his own verse to his fathers song. it goes
"my love is the flower that lies among the graves,
my love is the thousand souls that it saves
And all the insane madmen tell me i'm not as love behaves
Lay me not in lands of men, just spread my ash along the way'
I wanna feel the tide pull through me, like a women drunk as sin
I wanna feel the fish swim through me, let the water tag my skin
Wrapped around the pebble that you choose to warm your hand
Just as i dream everyday
As i pray you'll understand"
Comes after 'oh flying fish' verse. thought it might be nice to share Jeff's poetry with you lovely people.
