Promises (as The Years Go By) Lyrics

Say awhile, when I'm not alone

I forget all the anger in me

Kiss a tear when the hammer falls

They're holding me here in never ending circles

I can still remember summer madness

I can taste the perfume on your cheek

The heat is overcome by coldness--How

Consoling words are insignificant

Say you'll pray

Justify the actions

These are days of the mob-rule, sharp tongue, curfew

When the mind is in solitary confinement--

Makes the mood that breaks you

There's a spirit seeking liberation

Here's a fire with a hungry heart

If I listen maybe, time will tell me

The reasons why we're torn apart

As the years go by

Don't make any false promises

As the years go by

Say you'll pray

Here the silence is too loud

In a steel barred jail on the other side

We invented the differences

That weaved the web with which we lied

Caught in the middle of a cold war zone

I left my lover in a far-off place

She'll kiss a tear when the hammer's falling

And wipe the darkness from my face

As the years go by

Don't make any false promises

As the years go by

Just say you'll pray
