Beautiful Failure - Curt Smith

Beautiful failure

Sooner or later we’ll say so long

Unusual stranger

Counting the days until the tide runs out

We’re winding down

Hey as long as you can smile you’re alive

Won’t you stay and just breathe for a while

You’re a mile away

Beautiful failure

Growing in greater than the sum of your parting

Goodbye familiar alien

Huddled with strangers round the fire

Escaping the cold, don’t cry

Hey as long as you can smile you’re alive

Won’t you stay and just breathe for a while

You’re a mile away

When the bough breaks the cradle will fall

And down comes cradle baby and all

Beautiful failure

Bolder and brighter than the sails

That take you away
