This Promise by Pussywillow Lyrics
This Promise
Years will go by..............Kingdoms will fall
Stars will collide............Eventually
And patience gets worn........In a world of hurt
Where things got missed......And then they get worse
When broken hearts......have lost there voice
Choked up by tears............Drowned out by noise
Made by an innocent.....promise
A sorely missed.....promise
Stop marking time..........No need to remember
Don't write it down.....You won't forget
This......promise
Chorus
I give you me.......And no-one else
I will be yours.........Or can't you tell
For today I stand......Here in the hope
That we will be kissed....By this promise... promise
Bridge
It's as good as gold.........It's as tough as nails
It's as simple as I am...And all that entails
So please listen to these words.....I can only say them once
There's no need to repeat........What's already been done
What's the point of words that have a shallow meaning
I'd rather leave you this.....promise
What the point of getting filled up full of emptiness
I'd rather leave you this.....promise....promise....promise
This my song........I wrote while you slept
Peaceful and silent......Inside our nest
Tried not to wake you.......So I gently crept
Around in silence.......Like a promise kept
Repeat Bridge
