Let Me Try Again

Jandek


I know I've been a failure to you 
Even after all the things for me you do 
All the gifts that you've given 
And all the times that I've striven 
To run away and hide in my fault 
Please, please, please let me try again 
And when I fall I'll get me up 
The free fall of the chasm is bounded by your loving arms 
And I don't think I can do it without you 
Love me, the failure on my knees 
Forgive this frail body 
All the weakness that I know 
I'm not asking for anything 
How could you give me more 
You know I'm back to you every chance I get 
When the frenetic turmoil subsides 
And I stop and I see you 
In all the glory that you are 
I know I've been a failure to you 
Even after all the things for me you do 
And all the gifts that you've given
