The Walkabouts - Promised şarkı sözleri

Sanatçı: The Walkabouts

albüm: Setting the Woods on Fire


Promise me my soul to keep
And promise me you'll never sleep
And promise me that when it's over
We will drink the whole world sober
Promise me that lines get drawn
Point no point to wish me well
Promise me there's no denying
And you will stop to wish me well
Oh, promise me
Promise me it'll all get done
A lion's share of good will last
Promise me you'll turn away first
And promise me you won't turn back
For all the years we kept on trying
It wasn't 'cause we were scared to quit
Promise me there'll be no pity
And promise me there'll be safer bets
Oh, promise me
You won't make these promises
With calloused hands, we forged this hammer
Broke these rocks into equal parts
Sent the sparks, flyin' off the handle
Asked for nothing, but delivered much
We never were the main event
Always played the sideshow tent
The drunken cowards came to look us over
Can you promise we did not belong there?
Promise me
You won't make these promises
Promise me the best you know
And promise me you'll break down slow
And when you find the nerve to quit
Pass it 'round and we'll share in it
There is somethin' cruel 'bout this
But I know hopeful it's not far behind
What was unknown just hours ago
Is now the killer with the angel's eye
Oh, promise me
Oh, promise me
That's Glenn Slater there on piano
So we're gonna do a song by one of your Welsh compatriots
John Cale
He's a Welsh cowboy
