Promise Lyrics by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

Promise

So I see it in your eyesThere is a burden you cannot hideBut in their arms you feel so aliveAnd in a moment you're cast asideAll lines are brokenAnd we need you to hold onYour eyes have openedBut you've got to go onI'll comfort you, I'll stay with youIt's a promise not forgottenNow I hear you in my mindThere is a story you bring to lifeAnd I will bow gently by your feetBut tread softly, you tread on my dreamsAll lines are brokenAnd we need you to hold onYour eyes have openedBut you've got to go onI'll comfort you, I'll stay with youIt's a promise not forgottenYou're crying all these tearsBut they mean to leave you dryYou're still fighting all these yearsBy the same old things we wished we never hadVision softly fadesBut there's a light that still remainsAnd in these walls I feel your sadness waneBut in the moment you feel no painAll lines are brokenAnd we need you to hold onYour eyes have openedBut you've got to go onI'll comfort you, I'll sing to youIt's a promise not
forgottenCome on baby, let's fight the sunlightCome on baby, let's light the night
