Lyrics
The 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.
The way the moon bends down to light the sea
And catches hold
Of mountains strong
They stand beside me and all that I am
They have written in my soul
I've made a promise to never lose sight
Of the dream that leads me home
And this much I know
Time like a river
Sends me away
But here on these shores
My heart remais
From these shores I came
A tender wind that reaches through the years
And sings me on
Through joy and pain
It breathes within me and all that I am
It has written in my soul
I've made a promise to never lose sight
Of the dream that leads me home
And this much I know
And this much I know
