Promises Lyrics

Well don't you know I need a little indulgence?

Listen to the hunter becoming hunted

Every day there's a million advances

Don't be too forceful you'll ruin your chances

Well don't you know time is a broken glass

That splinter against the wall?

But the picture is coming back now baby,

And I want to take it all

(Chorus)

Don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep

There's a time to play a king and a time to be the thief

'Cause if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep

You know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone

So let your body move a little bit closer

Silent like the sound proceeding a cyclone

Don't you know that powerful thinking

Can be a force you dont wan't to relinquish?

Well don't you know that,

They say that hanging on will justify the wait?

But patience and elated wisdom don't share a common phrase

(Chorus)

Well I'm only hanging on for what goes down

I'm floating high and my feet don't touch the ground

I'd take advantage but I can't see through this charade

So don't you, don't go make it harder than hell

'Cause when it comes down to the making

You better be damned sure you can take it

Hey baby

(Chorus)

Time will be the thief and you fallen king will end up...

A fool, a fool, a lonely sorry fool

Oh baby, 'cause I told you baby
