promises

Cheap perfume and painted faces,
Fallen angles fill the places

Where I go when my troubles pull me down

All the lies I know theyll tell me,

And the time that they will sell me

For a while Ill be the biggest man in town

Back at home in bed shes crying,

For her love for me is dying

But shell pry I make it safely through the night

When the mornin sun starts showing,

To her bedside Ill be going

And shell hold me while I face the morning light

And Ill make promises

Promises to change
Ill make her promises swear Ill rearrange
And Ill start giving all the love she needs
If only she will stay

Once again shell reasure me and
I believe her love will cure me

And Ill fall asleep with tears on my face

Lord I know shes just a woman

And her love cant last forever

And someday soon I know shell
Leave without a trace

For broken promises

Will tear her dreams apart
Just token promises will someday break her heart
And for the last time shell hold me when I cry
And while Im sleeping

Shell quietly say goodbye
