Lyrics:
Failed Words [Version (a)]:

When the words that fail you
And truth is more than you can say
And the fear surrounds you
You can't walk away

There's no way to change it
Don't know what to say
In a total silence
I saw you walk away

All my nights in vain
All my days in vain
All my words in vain
My love

When the sky is breaking
And the dragons fall
Underneath the surface
Behind the wall

In a turn-down shelter
When you're lost at sea
Walking through the [?]
And you cannot breathe

All my nights in vain
All my days in vain
All my words in vain
My love

I want to turn back the world
And bring you back to me
As you rise to your [?]
She's gone
