Lyrics

The Promise

There's a line you have to cross
Somewhere different in each of us
It's the line that cuts between
What you want, and what you have to do

I'm going out to somewhere, you don't need to know
Did a deal with some people that you wouldn't want to know
I'm going out as someone, you would not recognise
But it's still the same old lips that are kissing you goodnight

So close your eyes and don't you fear
The better days are drawing near
I've been a long time coming through
But didn't I promise you, didn't I promise you
I'd make your dreams come through

Now there's another mouth to feed, we didn't plan to well
But there's nothing else to do and we got nothing left to sell
We've been running on empty and we're grinding to a halt
And I just look in the mirror to find the one at fault

So close your eyes and don't you fear
The better days are drawing near
I've been a long time coming through
But didn't I promise you, didn't I promise you
I'd make your dreams come through

There's a long black limousine
Bearing down on me
Yeah I'm going out in style
To make the accident worthwhile
And when that money comes to you
Do all the things you've wanted to do
And tell that little one, I've kept a place for him in the sun

So close your eyes and don't you fear
The better days are drawing near
I've been a long time coming through
But didn't I promise you, didn't I promise you
I'd make your dreams come through
