I have failed you, I have failed you,
I have closed my heart, 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 sink before I've found my
heart;
Heart, don't give up now while there's still
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, the even keel, I've waited,
But there's no one who makes it all come true,
Just altars gathering dust while we bow to them.
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.
Swing low, sail high,
Swing low, sail high.
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?
