The Place Where Failure Goes
View ArtistLyrics
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
