You Can't Fail Me Now

Bonnie Raitt - You Cant Fail Me Now

I know that fan is moving air, I can see it in your hair
But I cant bear to breathe it in somehow
Ill rise and fall with you cause you cant fail me now
Ill rise and fall with you cause you cant fail me now

Salt is sweet upon my mouth
And dark throws sparks against my house
The stain of loves a smudge upon my brow
But you see through me, you cant fail me now
You see right through me, you cant fail me now

Ive bit off more than I can chew
Its something that I tend to do
When fewer words are what we need and how
You bite my tongue, you cant fail me now
I rant and rail but you cant fail me now

Ive 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

Were taught to love the worst of us
And mercy more than life but trust me
Mercys just a warning shot across the bow
I live for yours and you cant fail me now
I live for your mercy, you cant fail me now
You cant fail me now
