Swing Low Sail High

Swing Low Sail High - The Wailin' Jennys

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

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

Sail high

Swing low

Sail high
