When All Else Fails Songtext

von The Ataris

You'll be forever an angel in a sundress
Blowing in the sweet September wind.
At least that's how I choose to remember.
And in my heart, you'll never love again.

Maybe it's too late to regain sight of all that we have lost now.
We've got to hold on to this moment to let it go.
Maybe it's too late for redemption now.

I see a blanket of pale white snow on the streets today
From this dollhouse full of open wounds.
And the stained glass of the church next door
Casts its light upon this empty room.
Your eyes, they used to shine as white as Northern Lights.

The demand to be loved is the greatest arrogance.
And I can never make you love me again.
And when all else fails, it fails.
Did I fail you? Will you fail me too?

Because there's nothing that I wouldn't do to hold on to you,
But you give me nothing to hold on to.
And maybe it's too late to keep the one I love from giving up.

I guess it's too late for forgiveness, God forgive me.
I guess it's too late for a family now.
Everything reminds me of you.
Everything reminds me of you.

You're an angel in a sundress,
And my heart will never love again.
