Promises (As the Years Go By)

Don't make any false promisesStay awhile when I'm not alone

I forget all the anger in me

Kiss a tear when the hammer falls

They're holding me here in never ending circlesI can still remember summer madness

I can taste the perfume on your cheek

The heat is overcome by coldness [Incomprehensible]

Consoling words are insignificant

Say you'll prayJustify the actions

These are days of the mob rule, sharp tongue, curfew

When the mind is in solitary confinement

Makes the mood that breaks youThere's a spirit seeking liberation

Here's a fire with a hungry heart

If I listen, maybe time will tell me

The reasons why we're torn apartAs the years go by

Don't make any false promises

As the years go by

Say you'll prayHere the silence is too loud

In a steel barred jail on the other side

We invented the differences

That weaved the web with which we liedCaught in the middle of a cold war zone

I left my lover in a far off place

She'll kiss a tear when the hammer's falling

And wipe the darkness from my faceAs the years go by

Don't make any false promises

As the years go by

Say you'll prayAs the years go by

Don't make any false promises

As the years go by

Say you'll pray, say you'll pray

Just say you'll pray

Just say you'll pray
