The Promise
(B Stephens)
"This magic moment"Just lost its tune and got tossed in the din
A kiss turns cutting
And an empty lie will be washed out in gin
(Chorus)
Drowning hightide, tread for absolution
Waiting in vain for the deal we bought
The promise made was the one solution
But the change for naught is the thing we got
Revelry meetings
A pact for fools with the honor of whores
With backs now turning
The toasting glass is swept on the floor
(Chorus)
Desperate tries at closing time
As filament fires
Light the liars and turn my sight
From faces to the floor
Desparate guile in pleading lines
Words crossed like wire
Catch myself and cede the night
Falling out the door
(Chorus)
