Beautiful Failure Songtext
von 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
