The promise of you it sleeps in the air The air that I breathe And I know that it's true Don't have to convince myself to believe, yeah What secrets sleep in the heart of a man And so much love wasted it slip right through my hands You see it in the eyes of the lonely As they make their weary way Shimmer in the eyes of the longing And I hear it say The promise of you it sleeps in the air The air that I breathe And I know that it's true Don't have to convince myself to believe, to believe What secrets sleep in the heart of the night And my dreams of salvation are slipping out of sight In the shimmering moments of the twilight The closing of the tide The whisper on the wind of a rescue The savior in time The promise of you it sleeps in the air The air that I breathe And I know that it's true Don't have to convince myself to believe And all this time I've been fighting my own private war And all this time You're the peace I searched for The promise of you it sleeps in the air The air that I breathe And I know that it's true Don't have to convince myself to believe, yeah The promise of you it sleeps in the air The air that I breathe And I know that it's true Don't have to convince myself to believe
