[Verse 1]
Rotted away the ides of your May
As far as falls from Grace are placed
I guess you're graciously effaced

[Chorus]
But don't you let me down again
Don't you let me down again
Don't you let me down so gently

[Verse 2]
The wine is mine to serve
To dribble on your skirts
The napkin dab is a task best left for the guests to work

[Chorus]
But don't you let me down again
Don't you let me down again
Don't you let me down so gently

[Verse 3]
Wholly incomplete
Or holy and complete
Don't I feel you when you weep

[Bridge]
We're all just beads on the same string
Seemingly discrete
Tethered inextricably
No eve ain't naive no more
No you've no use to know you anymore

[Chorus]
But don't you let me down again
Don't you let me down again
Don't you let me down so gently
