Buckley, Tim - Café Lyrics
I was just a curly-haired mountain boy
On my way passing through I heard a voice
Whisper good evening
I turned to a shadow
And saw her there
She had those sad china eyes
That sang each time she smiled
Ah, but the song
It seemed to linger
So long it deepened
My love for her
Until she called me near
And then we waltzed to our heart beat
The breeze was praying
Never to leave her alone
Oh, the time just slipped on by
And with the time
So did our love
Ah, her every move
Just like a fever
Just like a fever

Buckley, Tim Café Comments
This whole album is my 'go to' music when I am feeling down, and after listening to it, it somehow brings me back to myself, and I can acknowledge the blue feelings and let them go. For me, a definitely cathartic experience. Ironically, Tim did not regard this as his best work, but somehow he explored the dark matrix of our feelings, and made them accessible, so for me, this will always be some of his finest work.

La piu' bella sognante di Tim
Imprendibile la tua voce.un ricamo di stelle
Enchantingly beautiful. Thank heaven for sensitive souls like Tim.
Una delle piu' belle. Mi ricorda gli anni 70 al mercatino dei dischi a Via Sannio Roma. La voce del sogno infinito ed e' tutto
Bellissima!!!?
Concordo....Ovviamente......Un saluto da Trento
There's one person who sadly doesn't go to a cafe.....
Magnificent in its painful beauty......
A giant who left us way too early......Damn
bigger than life
Vero....Un saluto da Trento.....
I remember this LP when I was young and now it's always great!!!
lindo, perfeito...
Sim....Um saludo de Trento, Italia....Amo Brasil
Just another Tim's masterpiece
Amazing, amazing, amazing!!!
After hearing this there is nothing really you can follow it with, except bed.
An all-night cry.....
He´s astounding
Look at that cleft chin...
as good as music / voice gets.
thanx spaceodysseo i was looking for this song for so long, couldn t remember which album it was of, one of his beautifulest song
this song feels like heroin
I was lucky enough to get time with him while he was liveing in Sac. Ca. He was quiting! I praised how he wanted to reclaim his life.He asked me to go with.but ..I didn't.there were tears.He knew what he had to do.I was a part of his strength he said.them he left.then...he was gone. It's taken me yrs to figure this out.guess I'll never know.its been so long.now he's gone.we were young .wait to hear what he had not yet sung. I love you Tim .
A brotherly hug from Italy.....Thank you for your testimonial......
its a crime to even think to dislike this.
High crime indeed.....But one did......
Absolutely Awesome ! Thankyou dear...Anita :)
love the guitar solo that begins at 3:11 ...such a nice tone, i dunno what effect the guitar is using but it sound's real nice
the effects are depression and reverb.
@BlackSabbathory i'd love if they made a documentary about tim buckley and his whole music career from his first album up to his death, kinda like "the doors, when your stranhe" or "last 24 hoyurs of kurt cobain" i think that'd be amazing...although i dont know if they would have much footage of him to show...ahhh well just an idea lol
Andrew there is it’s called the man and his music
One of my favourite "chill out" albums after coming home from nightclubs in the 90's!
@MyInnerEyeMike99 Thank you for mentioning Blue Melody. It blew me away. I've thought it so many times, how well he knew the scope of his voice, but Blue Melody tops that.
@MyInnerEyeMike99 Maybe it was not important to Tim to have material possessions? He was still quite young to have cared a whole lot about that. Just thinking out loud. BTW I am a huge fan of Tim... But the daily and multiple drug habit is very expensive... this may have been a reason too.
@occiaballa Oh yeah you say it the way is my friend... me too : )
totally agree with MylnnerEyeMike99. Although I dont agree with what's written in Wiki that "Tim didnt have his heart in this album". I hear his heart so he must have put it in it. The album is my favourtite! And this song is so awesome!!!
@padleynj ...Totally agreed.....
There was so much incredible music coming out back then that it was all too easy for artists like Tim Buckley as well as potential fans to simply get lost in the flood of it all.
"She had those sad China eyes that sang each time she smiled." What a beautiful line from this exceptional song.
Yes and yes...A greeting from Italy
Losing oneself in this enchantment is so nice...
AWESOME....gets me Goosebumps
ascension at 0.30... any poets out there describe that?
Oone of my favorite Tim Buckley albums. I own them all and have been a fan since the '70's. This song makes my hair stand up and feels so moody. MANY of Tim's songs make my hair stand up. He was so very neglected and under rated! You must listen to Song to a Siren!
