A Promise
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This place looks familiar, they always are,
Came here again to meet you, forgotten star,
What's that can I hear you talking? What's that you say?
Every cloud has a silver lining, come on mate!
And I love it when you whisper to me...
There's always a promise in the dreams that you think,
There's always a promise in this last drink,
This last drink,
We've met so many places, we've always danced,
Then every morning after, left in a trance,
You know if we keep on meeting you'll take my soul,
Let's make this our last greeting, cause I must go,
And I love it when you whisper to me...
There's always a promise in the dreams that you think,
There's always a promise in this last drink,
This last drink,
This time I really mean it, it's over now,
Last night we both went too far - you know how,
Today I'm left staring the thousand yards,
Today I know you promised the house of cards,
And I love it when you whisper to me...
There's always a promise in the dreams that you think,
There's always a promise in this last drink,
This last drink,
