Текст песни You Can't Fail Me Now - Joe Henry

I know that fan is moving air
I can see it in your hair
But I can't bear to
Breathe it in somehow-
I'll rise and fall with you
Cause you can't fail me now,
I'll rise and fall with you
Cause you can't fail me now

Salt is sweet upon my mouth
And dark throws sparks against my house
The state of love is a smudge upon my brow-
But you see through me
And you can't fail me now,
You see right through me
You can't fail me now

I've bit off more than I can chew
It's something that I tend to do
When fewer words are what we need, and how-
You bite my tongue
And you can't fail me now,
I rant and rail
But you can't fail me now

Solo
Bridge:
I've lost the thread among the vines
And hung myself in storylines
That tell the tales I never would allow-
God knows the name of every bird
That fills my mind like angry words,
But you know all my secret heart avows...

We're taught to love the worst of us
And mercy more than life but trust me:
Mercy's just a warning shot across the bow-
I live for yours
And you can't fail me now,
I live for your mercy
And you can't fail me now
No you can't fail me now
