Duran Duran - The Promise lyrics

Whose stretching arms match the hunger of mine

These lips will they never join

But always draw me closer and further entwined

With a promise dealer understand all

freedoms fade away

To a point of view where many different

pathways meet

And we're standing on this precipice with

nothing much to gain

But the deep blue screams of falling dreams

with our next move

Heaven hide your eyes

Heaven's eyes will never dry

The shades of a thousand steel

Come flashing by my face in the fury of war

In desolation and abandoned fields

The hungry make their stand when they'll stand for

no more

Hear the passion in their voices

See the heaven in their eyes

Their hopes and schemes are waiting dreams of

less than paradise

And sometimes we make promises we never mean to keep

For blackmail is the only deal a promise dealer sees

Heaven hide your eyes

Heaven's eyes will never dry
