Promise of You Lyrics


The promise of you it sleeps in the air
The air that I breathe
And I know that it's true
Don't have to convince myself to believe, yeahWhat secrets sleep in the heart of a man
And so much love wasted it slip right through my hands
You see it in the eyes of the lonely
As they make their weary way
Shimmer in the eyes of the longing
And I hear it sayThe promise of you it sleeps in the air
The air that I breathe
And I know that it's true
Don't have to convince myself to believe, to believeWhat secrets sleep in the heart of the night
And my dreams of salvation are slipping out of sight
In the shimmering moments of the twilight
The closing of the tide
The whisper on the wind of a rescue
The savior in timeThe promise of you it sleeps in the air
The air that I breathe

And I know that it's true
Don't have to convince myself to believeAnd all this time
I've been fighting my own private war
And all this time
You're the peace I searched forThe promise of you it sleeps in the air
The air that I breathe
And I know that it's true
Don't have to convince myself to believe, yeahThe promise of you it sleeps in the air
The air that I breathe
And I know that it's true
Don't have to convince myself to believe

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Edwin McCain (born January 20, 1970 in Greenville, South Carolina) is an alternative and indie rock guitar player. While his albums are released under his name, he does have a permanent band, referred to as the Edwin McCain Band. Members of the band as of 2007 include Larry Chaney, lead guitar; Pete Riley, rhythm guitar and background vocals; Craig Shields, saxophone and keyboards; Manny Yames, bass guitar; and Peter Alexander, drums.

After signing a contract with the Atlantic Records label Lava Records in 1994, his first major-label album, Honor Among Thieves, was issued in 1995. His second album, Misguided Roses, spawned I'll Be, a major single in 1998. Two more albums (Messenger and Far From Over) followed, but at the end of 2001, he split from Lava. In 2003 he released a collection of acoustic versions of songs both old and new called The Austin Sessions via ATC Records, a Nashville-based independent record label (at which McCain was the first artist signed following its creation in 2001). Mid-2004 saw the arrival of his first studio album in three years, entitled Scream & Whisper, which was released on another indie label, DRT Entertainment.

He has released two DVDs to date. The first was through ATC records in late 2002, called Mile Marker: Songs and Stories from the Acoustic Highway, and it consisted of interviews, live performances, and other material. The other was in late 2004, Tinsel & Tap Shoes. It was his first live concert DVD, recorded at The House of Blues in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

A new CD was released in April, 2006 titled, Lost In America. Edwin recently signed a contract with Vanguard Records. This album (#8) is said to be a true "rock 'n roll" collection.
