From the recording All Folk Selections
Lyrics
I FAILED YOU
Wide awake
I call you
“Did you see?”
I’m all alone
But I’m holding you
“Did you see?”
And my heart
Rises up to meet you
In the mist
I’m alone
I call you
And we kiss
I’m one of the ones they shot down
I can’t see you
I may never see you again
All around the town
There are alarm bells
What’s been happening here?
I hear the throes at midnight
I hear the dust between us fall
Between us fall
Suffering all the time
I try to hold my head up high
I try to do the things that people do
But I always run away from you
My heart is filled with doubt
In and out, in and out
All this time I tried
And I failed you
I failed you
Hosanna
Hosanna
Hosanna
Hosanna
Hosanna
Hosanna
Hosanna
Hosanna
Hosanna
Hosanna
