Too Far

You never let me down
too far
though I have seen better times
sometimes
but it's the way you are.

You never let me down
too far
though I have been bruised
slightly abused
you've never left a scar.

You never let me down
too far
though you've been quiet some afternoons
and at night, stolen moons
you've given back a star.

You never let me down
too far
though you failed my storm to weather
I'm sure you've thought to tar and feather
but you left out the tar.

You never let me down
too far
though you've fallen when it's really mattered
you kept us from being totally splattered
with a hand to bring it back up to par.

You never let me down
too far.
