A song that went through several versions over the course of about 4 years before this hymn-like recording landed on Buckley’s posthumous record, My Sweetheart the Drunk. The refrain is derived from a song that Buckley heard in a dream about an AIDS rally at a college auditorium.

[Verse 1]
You and I
Ah, the calm below that poisoned river wild
You and I
Tears that dry on a rude awakened child
Where you look down
I've walked before, burning holes
With eyes of liquid brown
If we had only known, in a way
We wouldn't reach this ground
You were my only home, silver eyes
I want to see you shine
[Chorus]

Fall away from us in time
Searching our past for the true

[Verse 2]
Where you think you'll fall
I adore you
Where you shut your soul
I will open for you
If we had only known, in a way
We'd never reach this ground
I'll know, silver eyes

[Chorus]
I said, we will feel the weight
Fall away from us in time
Searching our past for a true
You and I, you and I, you and I
All for you
You & I was written by Jeff Buckley.
Jeff Buckley released You & I on Tue May 26 1998.
