PROMISES

(Tony Rumble)

 

VERSE
I dream about the distance
The feeling of space and heat
The rolling green ocean waves
Where lovers like us should meet
Dreaming isn’t the right word
It’s more like a craven thing
To play the music, sing our songs
With the grit and the seaweed under our feet

 

CHORUS
How can it be that it’s gone
It was forever meant to be
With the promises that we made
Baby just you and me
How can it be that it’s gone
It was forever meant to be
Those were the promises that we made
Baby it’s you, just you and me, oh oh

 

VERSE
I’m sitting in suburbia
Steaming dormitory
Watching endless TV shows
Dreaming of summer’s heat
I don’t think about the distance or
The feeling of ease and surprise
The rolling white lonely lines
Blown away by your lies

 

CHORUS
How can it be that its gone
It was forever meant to be
With the promises we made
Baby you and me
How can it be that it’s gone
It was forever meant to be
Those were the promises that we made
Baby it’s you, just you and me, oh oh
