Songs: Promises to Keep
Promises to Keep
Just a young drunkard
alone on the Street
I quiet my heart with Promises to Keep
Like thousands of others
My souls all I have
Yet I bargain it freely
As if I were mad
(C)
But there’s a River I’ll run to
Whenever I know
It’s the last chance for circumstance
Your first chance to show
That your Hearts in the Right Place
A debt has been paid
Having worshipped seclusion
Now I am saved
Been dying forever
But dying is slow
Go south in the winter
When the North’s full of snow
Like thousands of others
My souls all I have
Yet I bargain it freely
As if I were mad
(C)
