The Place Where Failure Goes |
After they laid me in the ground |
I flew on the wing |
Somewhere outside the pearly gates |
I heard someone sing |
It was a girl I’d seen before |
Though we’d never met |
I asked her name, she said, «It's yours |
How could you forget?» |
«I was a girl who appeared in a song |
That you wrote when you turned seventeen |
I was a failure when I was a single |
I died, but you still loved me» |
«And this is the place where failure goes |
If your dreams won’t die |
This is where all your hopes survive |
If they’re not a lie |
This is where all the might-have-beens |
Triumph and forgive |
This is where all the star-crossed loves |
Have the chance to live» |
I turned around and I saw every dreamer |
Who gambled it all on the line |
Every belief that once ended in grief |
Now was blazing alongside mine |
And I’m in the place where failure goes |
Here for quite some while |
Here where the games of win or lose |
Only make us smile |
This is my voice beyond the grave |
Preaching from the past |
Heaven and hell are myths of men |
Dreams are all that last |
