    You Can't Fail Me Now

    by: 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
    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
    when you see right through me you can't fail me now
    I've bit off more than i can chew
    its something that i tend to do
    when fewer words are what we need and how
    I 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
    you can't fail me now
