Swing Low Sail High
I have failed you I have failed you I have lost my way, lost my nerve, and failed you But I love you How I love you I have turned my back, left you, alas, but I love you
Oh setting sun don't sink before I've found my heart Heart don't give up now while there's till time Time don't beat your old retreat Stay a little while with me 'Til I've looked the whole thing in the eye
I have waited I have waited For the big reveal Even keel (?) I've waited But there's no one who makes it all come true Just altars gathering dust while we're back to it (?)
Oh night bring all your shadows and your silence Silence make a hostage of my mind Mind bring on your trickery Black dogs nip on at my heels 'Til I've looked the whole thing in the eye Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Swing low Sail high Swing low Sail high
I have failed you I have failed you I've closed my heart and I have failed you But I love you How I love you All my days were rearranged to say I love you
Oh setting sun don't weep for all the things you lose Morning comes as sure as it must die Dying is such mystery Yet I wonder will it be, When I've looked the whole thing in the eye.
