lyrics

promise

darling, come to me, live by my side
i will always be your loving bride
when the night is long, let me be your guide
or at least let me promise to try promise to try

neighbor, come over, i need some relief
everything's crumbling under my feet
whatever happened, life was so sweet
now it's all in the hands of a thief
hands of a thief

stranger, look at me, we're all on this ride
i'll move my bag, i can see you've been crying
it does us no good to be burdened by pride
when we really got nothing to hide
nothing to hide

mama come nearer, sit by my bed
memory's a fever that burns so deep
pour cool water, soothe my head
and softly sing me to sleep
sing me to sleep

water, rush at me, wash me away
far from this trouble where no one can say
i ever did anything to make you ashamed
of letting me swim back to shore
swim back to shore
