Promises

[00:04.52] Cheap perfume and painted faces
[00:11.76] fallen angels fill the places
[00:18.17] where I go when my troubles pull me down
[00:27.91]
[00:31.05] And all the lies, I know they'll tell me,
[00:37.56] and the time that they will sell me
[00:44.00] for a while, I'll be the biggest man in town
[00:53.56]
[00:57.07] Back at home in bed she's crying
[01:03.63] For her love for me is dying
[01:09.90] But she'll pray I make it safely through the night
[01:19.85]
[01:23.07] When the morning sun starts showing
[01:29.45] to her bedside I'll be going
[01:36.12] And she'll hold me while I face the morning light
[01:45.92]
[01:48.40] And I'll make promises
[01:52.75] promises to change. I'll make her promises
[01:59.01] swear I'll rearrange and I'll start giving
[02:05.57] All the love she needs if only she
[02:09.31] will stay
[02:12.12]
[02:15.06] Once again, she'll reassure me
[02:21.38] And I believe her love will cure me
[02:27.69] and I'll fall asleep with tears on my face
[02:37.85]
[02:40.57] And I know, she's just a woman
[02:47.00] and her love can't last forever
[02:53.43] And someday soon,
[02:56.81] I know she'll leave without a trace
[03:05.51] For broken promises
[03:09.68] Will tear her dreams apart. Just token promises
[03:16.20] Will someday break her heart and for the last time
[03:22.75] She'll hold me when I cry, and while I'm sleeping
[03:29.35] She'll quietly say goodbye
[03:42.55]
