Steve Harley - PROMISES lyrics

True romance in the dead ot´f the night

The breeze in the air, it almost glistens

And the earth is a glorious sight

When nobody speaks and nobody listens

You're gonna have a night to remember

You're gonna be real, live, hot contender

Sleeptalking in the dead of the nigth

Cold coffee in the china

Friends talking in the dead of the night

Promises, it's always the way

Promises, it's always the way

Running off by the light of the moon

The hand on your heart is almost hidden

You try from your favourite room

To get at the truth but it's forbidden

You've never been a shoulder to cry on

The lover's pledge is not to be relied on

Sleeptalking in the dead of the nigth

Cold coffee in the china

Friends talking in the dead of the night

Promises, it's always the way

Promises, it's always the way

Old friends in a sepia frame

The proud photograph, the truth it measures

Is why in humanity's name

You take from the wounded personal treasures

You've never been a frien to depend on

you've never understood my view of heaven

Sleeptalking in the dead of the nigth

Cold coffee in the china

Friends talking in the dead of the night

Promises, it's always the way

Promises, it's always the way

Repeat first verse
