You Won't Let Me Down Again
Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan Lyrics
You sold your soul
When you drank the morning dew
Down on your luck
And so thirsty through and through
The crack in the mirror
Tells of seven years of pain
And you won't let me down again
Drive through the night
Just to see the ocean green
There's no telling where I've been
Both eyes on the road ahead
Don't wanna look behind
And you won't let me down again
Ten miles of the city
And I lose you in the rain
So you won't let me down again
Aeroplane, aeroplane
Race across the fields
Taking me home
Was further from the deals
Your father was a weaker man
Give up without a sound
But you won't let me down again
Strength is in the solitude
I tried to obtain
But you won't let me down again
A head full of visions
I struggle to recall
Those ancient of wisdoms
Are poured into us all
Air will crackle in the heat
The harvest moon will reign
And you won't let me down again
And I don't look for pity
So if it's all the same
You won't let me down again
You won't let me down again

Such a fantastic song. I'm a huge Lanegan fan, but Isobel blends so well with him. Wow!!

I was also very impressed with his Cover of Crystalized with Martina Topley-Bird. While I prefer Lanegan's bluesier stuff, Topley-Bird's voice also seems to fit with Lanegan's extremely well.

His voice is like the earth beneath your feet.. Old, dirty, craggy & crumbling. Her voice is like the breeze in the trees above your head.. Fresh, sweet, heavenly & ethereal.. & barely heard above the rustling.
