Farmer's Boys - A Promise You Can't Keep lyrics

Love's running away from me

Through open eyes I still can't see

You, important part of me

Walking on air, you'll find me there

What's on your mind? Love's so unkind

I waited hours for it, something so rare I held it close

Closer than ever now

What could be near, and yet so far?

Love's running away from me

Through open eyes I still can't see

Where there is time, you could be mine

Why dwell on past encounters?

At least they still affect us

Time, ticking away from us

Where there is time you still are mine

Love's running away from you

Through open eyes I've seen right through

Where there is hope I think I'll cope

Why wait in transit for it, rise up and reach out for it

Listen, though things may go wrong

It's forever, a promise you can't keep

I'll wait a lifetime for it, I'll rise, reach out and then I'll...
