You Can't Fail Me Now Lyrics - Slipstream - Bonnie Raitt

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 

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 on 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 

It's something that I tend to do 

When fewer words are what we need and how 

Oh, you bite my tongue and you can't fail me now 

I rant and rail but you can't fail me now 

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 

You can't fail me now
