Lyrics
Promise land
I rode into town on a late night flyer
I was running from a large misunderstanding
There was a reason to run, but no reason to lie
I didn't do it, but the truth's too demanding
There was something in the air that set me on fire
A scent that struck sweet fear and mystery
Then your eyes held me when I wasn't willing
To give it up and give love's pure testimony
When the fog had cleared I found my promise land
Innocent of the web of my complicated story
I had no reason to believe in some - no way!
I wasn't looking for love, peace, or glory
It was easy to fall away into the dream
The life I lived had slowly slipped away
It was the peace of nights spent and the morning glow
It was your sweet whispers that made me pay
In the dark they came to whisk me away
What I built was a mild treachery
You gave me love to write a new story
But the writer was never, never, free
When the fog had cleared I found my promise land
Innocent of the web of my complicated story
I had no reason to believe in some - no way!
I wasn't looking for love, peace, or glory
