I know that fan is moving airnI can see it in your hairnBut I can't bear to breathe it in somehownI'll rise and fall with younCause you can't fail me now,nI'll rise and fall with younCause you can't fail me nownnSalt is sweet upon my mouthnAnd dark thrwos sparks against my housenThe stain of love's a smudge upon my brow.nBut you see through menAnd you can't fail me now,nYou see right through menAnd you can't fail me now nnI bit off more than I can chewnIt's something that I tend to donWhen fewer words are what we need and hownYou bite my tonguenAnd you can't fail me nownI rant and railnBut you can't fail me nownnI lost the thread among the vinesnAnd hung myself in story linesnThat tell the tales I never would allownGod knows the name of every birdnThat fills my mind like angry wordsnBut you know all my secret heart avows...nnWe're taught to love the worst of usnAnd mercy more than life, but trust me:nMercy's just a warning shot across the bownI live for yoursnAnd you can't fail me now,nI live for your mercynAnd you can't fail me now,nYou can't fail me now.
