Promises (Album Version)

Cheap perfume and painted faces,
Fallen angles fill the places

Where I go when my troubles pull me down

All the lies I know they'll tell me,

And the time that they will sell me

For a while I'll be the biggest man in town

Back at home in bed she's crying,

For her love for me is dying

But she'll pry I make it safely through the night

When the mornin' sun starts showing,

To her bedside I'll be going

And she'll hold me while I face the morning light

And I'll make promises

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

Once again she'll reasure me and
I believe her love will cure me

And I'll fall asleep with tears on my face

Lord I know she's just a woman

And her love can't last forever

And someday soon I know she'll
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 she'll hold me when I cry
And while I'm sleeping

She'll quietly say goodbye
